Scotland have made it into the Australian half after a chopped clearance from Foley after he did so well to keep the ball in from Ali Price's kick.

The ball is spilt, Foley taking his eye off it and a superb read of the pass at the halfway line. Captaincy is important, but it's the leaders you have in your team, and he has a lot around him. He'll have a big impact on the boys and lead through his actions. Both in front of the posts, and both resulted in three points from the boot of Foley. Expect caginess with the sun setting, the clouds swirling and the rain spitting in Edinburgh. Ikitau does just enough to hold off the Scotland defence, and Slipper is the man who dives over. A lovely ball out the back, and quickly switched from left to right. Kinghorn had a chance to win it at the end, but he pulled his kick. After three more points from the boot of Kinghorn, Australia were gifted their platform for a comeback. It was somewhat against the run of play, therefore, that Scotland bagged the opener – and in some style. The full-back still had plenty to do, but he left McDermott for dead, outpaced the covering Wallabies defence, and wrong-footed Tom Banks on the line. The centre took the ball to the precipice before pulling back a near-vertical pass to his fly-half who fizzed the ball to Smith.

"We've got a lot more in us — we need to be a hell of a lot more clinical when we're down their end as we had plenty of opportunities." "We got ourselves in a bit of a hole after half-time, an opportunist try and we're down 15-6 but the boys showed a lot of character and fought hard for each other and managed to hang on," Rennie said.

They are very similar to South Africa.” We want to play against them, but they prefer to play without the ball. What technical thing do you need to work on?” Do you need to keep the head down longer? The width of a post decides whether you win or lose sometimes. “That’s sport.
