Scotland’s second Nations Championship November Test against Australia was expected to be a fixture full of attacking, easy to watch rugby.
In the end that didn’t prove to be the case but the final score of 15-12 at Murrayfield ultimately went the way of the hosts to secure a much needed victory. It was a match where both sides really struggled to get their dangermen on the ball in space and would prove to be a battle of defences more than anything.
Here is how we rated the Scotland players on the day from their victory over the Wallabies in Edinburgh:
17. Replacements (BACKS)
Jamie Dobie - 6 - Came on for Steyn's HIA on the wing but didn't see much action. Once he got on at nine the tempo did increase at times. Stafford McDowall - 2 - brought on with not much time left to do anything. | SNS Group
