'I thought it was a 17-point wind': How Scotland knew first-half advantage was not enough against Australia
Scotland head coach Bryan Easson felt that his side needed more than a 12 point advantage at the break versus Australia yesterday given the conditions – and so it proved as the opponents scored 14 points after the interval to win a thrilling Rugby World Cup clash.
With title challengers New Zealand still to come, the Scots knew they had to win this game to keep any realistic hopes of progressing out of Pool A into the quarter-finals alive.
They were back at the Northland Events Centre in Whangarei, New Zealand, where they had been beaten with the last kick of the game against Wales six days previously, but there was certainly no hangover.
