Australia 6-9 Scotland

[NorthernLights24]

Great result down in Newcastle this morning. It goes a little way to getting over what was an awful 6 Nations.

[Dynamo]

First win in 30 years down under.

 

Didn't even know they were playing till 2 minutes ago.

[Stoney]

Very important win given the ranking points it represents when looking at the draw for the next world cup which happens in December.

[Pash]

Scot team was full of youngsters was it nae?

 

Two in a row over them now, easy.

Tremendous result. Well played Scotland.

It was a full international and that's what the record books will show. That's two in a row against the Aussies as well.

 

Not a full strength Aussie side but there were plenty experienced players in there. It was not a full strength Scots side either, due to injury, suspension and a couple of older players being rested. Several new caps in our side as a result.

 

A lot of character shown by our side to win under a lot of pressure in terrible conditions.

Can we play you every week!

 

Or 5 times a year as the case may be...

Unsurprisingly, this match hasn't received any attention in Oz. You wouldn't know there was match going on.... was it definitely a full international? I see the aussies played loads of uncapped players...

5 new caps for the Aussies I believe, but that's what you get for taking the piss.

The equivalent of us putting Soutar in goal in the League Cup.

Superb celebration by Al Strokosh & Joe Ansbro at the end.

 

[King Street Loon]

Good win for Scotland out there.

 

Might buy Andy Robinson some time as I think he was close to getting jottered.

It so isn't the same!

 

Scotland had 2 new caps and one making his first start and several still in single digits cap wise, with more uncapped players on the bench. The Aussie team had plenty experience and it wasn't the reason they lost.
