Scotland bounced back from their defeat to South Africa with a 59-21 win over Portugal at Murrayfield.
The gulf in status between the two nations was apparent as a Scotland side featuring 14 changes racked up nine tries against their Tier 2 opponents, who ran in three tries of their own.
Several less established internationals took advantage of their opportunity to impress by crossing the whitewash, including Leicester prop Will Hurd and Sale wing Arron Reed, who added a second-half double.
But it was the talismanic Darcy Graham who had another bumper Murrayfield crowd in raptures when he produced a delightful piece of skill to score his 29th Scotland try and move level with Edinburgh colleague Duhan Van Der Merwe in the all-time record list.
Stafford McDowall – captain for the day – also got on the scoresheet while 19-year-old Edinburgh back-rower Freddy Douglas came on to become Scotland’s youngest debutant since 1963, despite never having made a competitive appearance at club level.
Here is how the Scotland players rated out of 10 for their performance:
9. George Horne
Acrobatic assist for Graham’s try as he caught the ball over the line but managed to keep his feet in play. He then set up Jamie Bhatti for his score with an interception and run to the line. 7 | PA
10. Adam Hastings
Stepped back in at stand-off in the absence of Finn Russell and offered flashes of creativity against opponents who impressed with their line speed. Kicked five from seven conversions. 6 | SNS Group
11. Arron Reed
The Sale Sharks flyer scored two tries in two minutes in the second half to take his Scotland tally to four in three Tests. Has pace to burn and showed good awareness too as he cut inside smartly for the second score. 8 | SNS Group
12. Stafford McDowall
Captaining Scotland solo for the first time and he marked the occasion with an excellent try, intercepting in midfield then producing a lung-busting run from halfway. Solid centre pairing with Hutchinson. 7 | SNS Group
