Van der Merwe Matches Scotland Record in Victory Against USA.

Scotland secured their second consecutive win on their summer tour with a commanding performance against the USA in Washington DC. The team's dominant display highlighted their strength and cohesion, setting a positive tone for the rest of the tour.

Duhan van der Merwe kicked things off for Scotland with his 27th international try, tying Stuart Hogg's record.

Hooker Ewan Ashman stole the spotlight with a first-half hat-trick from a powerful Scotland maul, while Tommaso Boni capitalized on a Matt Fagerson error for the USA's only try.

In the second half, George Horne and Matt Fagerson added to the tally, pushing Scotland past 40 points and building on their win over Canada.

Next, Scotland heads to South America for Tests against Chile on July 20 and Uruguay on July 27.
