DARCY GRAHAM took his Scotland try tally to 18 on Saturday when he scored twice in the team's win over Italy - and now he's gunning for his Hawick pal Stuart Hogg's all-time record of 27.
Full-back Hogg announced his retirement from all rugby earlier this month at the age of 31. He played 100 times for his country over a 12-year span from 2012.
Edinburgh winger Graham, who like Hogg played for his home town Hawick before going pro, turned 26 last month and has bags of time to chase down the record.
However, he knows that he has a major rival in clubmate Duhan van der Merwe, 28, who did not play at the weekend but has 17 tries from just 28 caps.
