Scotland clinched a hard-fought 15-12 win against Australia at Murrayfield in a Nations Championship encounter. The victory sees Scotland climb above Wales into fourth position in the Northern Hemisphere table.
First-half scores from Matt Fagerson and Jack Dempsey provided Scotland with an advantage at the break. Harry Potter responded for the Wallabies, while Finn Russell's late penalty offered the hosts some breathing room. Max Jorgensen's 80th-minute try for Australia offered a late glimmer of hope, but Scotland held on.
The Scots faced a pre-match setback when captain Sione Tuipulotu withdrew due to a knee injury, with Rory Darge taking over the captaincy. Lock Scott Cummings was also forced off injured during the match.
