RUGBY : Scotland completed one of the greatest rearguard victories in recent Test history to beat Australia for the first time in 27 years following their 9-8 victory.
Scotland completed one of the greatest rearguard victories in recent Test history to beat Australia for the first time in 27 years following their 9-8 victory.
Despite being penned in their own half for almost the whole 80 minutes, Andy Robinson’s men somehow held on after Matt Giteau missed a stoppage-time conversion for the Wallabies.
It completed a miserable evening for the fly-half, who kicked Australia ahead early on but missed more than once in front of goal, while numerous tryscoring opportunities also went begging.
Scotland fought back through two Phil Godman penalties and a Chris Paterson drop goal before Ryan Cross scored a last-gasp try for Australia.
