Scotland narrowly beat Australia

Scotland beat Australia 15 to 12 but failed to earn the bonus point. In a Championship match with little excitement, Scotland secured a hard-fought win.

In the first half, tries from Matt Fagerson and Jack Dempsey gave Scotland the advantage at half-time. Harry Potter replied for the Wallabies. Later in the match, a penalty from Finn Russell gave Scotland some breathing room. Max Jorgensen's try in the 80th minute gave the visitors hope, but Scotland held on to their lead and won. With this result, Scotland moved above Wales in the Northern Hemisphere table, rising to fourth place.

Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend told ITV that both teams had adapted well to the conditions. Townsend said, "In terms of defence, this is one of the best performances I've seen in the last two years." He also highlighted the team's disciplined physical game, saying, "Today we showed that we can play another match as well."
