A little help from France superstar Antoine Dupont paved the way for the Scot who duly marked his debut for Toulouse with a try against Cardiff in the Investec Champions Cup.
The 26-year-old Scottish full-back, who joined the Top 14 champions from Edinburgh, didn’t fumble his chance to score, capitalizing on a break initiated by Toulouse’s speedster Thomas Ramos just moment earlier.
Dupont – who is heading to the HSBC SVNS circuit in the new year – delivered a pinpoint pass on the inside to the awaiting Kinghorn, who expertly touched down under the posts.
The well-coordinated play not only highlighted Toulouse’s attacking finesse but also served as a promising glimpse into the dynamic partnership forming between Dupont and the new minted Toulousain talent.

The writer here ignores the fact that, following on from not taking the penalty kick, the All Blacks did manage to score a try a few minutes later. Not directly from the penalty awarded, but it is speculation to say that had they opted to take the koi they would have won. Even if they kicked it, which was no guarantee, they would still be trailing and would have had to start again at half-way.
