Scotland held on for a narrow 15-13 win over a sloppy Wallabies side at Murrayfield this morning.
After a tense first 20 minutes, it would be the reigning Six Nations Player of the Year Hamish Watson who crossed at the back of a 5-metre maul.
Debutant Ewan Ashman restored the Scots' advantage with a stunning finish and although James O'Connor kicked Australia back in front, Finn Russell slotted the decisive penalty.
Wallabies prop Allan Alaalatoa was sin-binned for a high cleanout, denying Michael Hooper a try before the break.
That made it consecutive wins for Scotland after last week's 60-14 victory over Tonga and sets them up for this weekend’s clash against world champions, South Africa.
