- Scotland 15-13 Australia
- Hosts earn third successive win over Wallabies
In the end Murrayfield was rocking. This might not have been a classic – too many mistakes for that, too little continuity – but it had plenty of high points, plenty of tension and drama. And then it had the result. No one should get carried away, however much the sell-out crowd had cause to roar, but here is another important win for Scotland – and this against the number-three side in the world, who lately recorded consecutive victories over the world champions.
Murrayfield has been re-established as a formidable fortress for a while now, but there remains the hint of a fault line in Scotland’s confidence in general, which this win should help them work on. And next the world champions, South Africa, come calling. What might a win next weekend do for that confidence.
