In the opening round of the 2025 Autumn Nations Series, Scotland demolished USA Rugby 85-0 at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh, Scotland — marking Scotland's largest win margin in international play. 

The world No. 8 Scots dominated from the opening whistle, scoring three tries in five minutes. By halftime, the score sat at 45-0. The game seemed already won. 

The United States certainly turned up the heat and momentarily slowed Scotland's momentum in the second half. However, the Scots found six more tries, scoring 13 total, while the No. 15 Eagles failed to register a single point.

Darcy Graham recorded a hat trick, captain Stafford McDowall added a commanding try and Jamie Dobie, named player of the match, led a swift, fluid Scottish attack that exposed the Eagles defense all game. 

The Eagles missed 40 tackles and struggled to maintain possession, unable to counter Scotland’s precision and pace. 

Many Scottish tries were scored off quick passing sequences to culminate in a run up the wing for a try. The USA wasn't able to seal off the area in time.

The result cements Scotland’s dominance in the matchup following a 42-7 win last year, though the USA’s 30-29 upset in 2018 remains a historic outlier. 

For Scotland, this emphatic victory marks a dream start to the team's Autumn Nations campaign; for the USA, a humbling benchmark against top-tier competition.

Graham adds the try this time. 

Scotland is on a roll and find its third try of the game before the 10-minute mark. Hastings adds the conversion.

If these first few minutes are any indication of the rest of the game, the USA will be looking to just put as many points on the board as possible. The Eagles just look for reps and solid defense.

Scotland 14 - 0 USA

Scotland adds another try just a minute later. Duhan van der Merwe adds the points, and Darcy Graham adds the conversion.

Scotland Finds First Try - 5'
