Scotland have made it into the Australian half after a chopped clearance from Foley after he did so well to keep the ball in from Ali Price's kick.

The ball is spilt, Foley taking his eye off it and a superb read of the pass at the halfway line. Captaincy is important, but it's the leaders you have in your team, and he has a lot around him. He'll have a big impact on the boys and lead through his actions. Both in front of the posts, and both resulted in three points from the boot of Foley. Expect caginess with the sun setting, the clouds swirling and the rain spitting in Edinburgh. Ikitau does just enough to hold off the Scotland defence, and Slipper is the man who dives over. A lovely ball out the back, and quickly switched from left to right. Kinghorn had a chance to win it at the end, but he pulled his kick. After three more points from the boot of Kinghorn, Australia were gifted their platform for a comeback. It was somewhat against the run of play, therefore, that Scotland bagged the opener – and in some style. The full-back still had plenty to do, but he left McDermott for dead, outpaced the covering Wallabies defence, and wrong-footed Tom Banks on the line. The centre took the ball to the precipice before pulling back a near-vertical pass to his fly-half who fizzed the ball to Smith.

Scotland vs. Australia result, highlights and analysis from rugby ... (Sporting News AU)

Scotland and Australia kicked off the end-of-year internationals in a pulsating match at Murrayfield, the Wallabies getting over the line by a solitary ...

It's a tough, tough match-up to call on paper, and the mood of the bookmakers reflects that. The Wallabies come back inside and pound the Scottish line, but Scotland win a ruck penalty to give themselves a reprieve. The Wallabies will head head to France, Italy, Ireland and Wales as part of their spring tour. 3 mins: It's been a really fast-flowing and open start, and McDermott's in the mood too as he ducks through the line to burst forward. 15 mins to KO: The Wallabies have had selection worries of their own, and are missing several key names due to injury. Kinghorn whips a long wide pass to Tuipulotu, but he spills the ball with the line begging! Two penalties from Foley give Australia the leads, and they've been the dominant side in the first half despite not scoring a try. Valentini and Frost both get their hands on the ball, the latter offloading to Slipper who dots the ball down! The hosts looked as if they would pull away in the second half as Kinghorn scored within seconds of the restart, but their indiscipline gave Australia a platform and the Wallabies finally scored through Slipper. 75 mins: White takes the line on and plays a flat ball to Hooper. The Wallabies finally make the pressure tell and the forwards link up to score their first try! However, their lack of composure in the Scotland 22 cost them time and time again, and that's something coach Dave Rennie will need to try to fix if the Wallabies are to build on this slender victory in their four remaining end-of-year matches.

Scotland player ratings vs Australia | Autumn Nations Series (RugbyPass)

Scotland player ratings: It was a scrappy game, one that could have ended with either team lifting the Hopetoun Cup.

He did his best to add extra zip into the Scottish backline but even he couldn’t instil continuity into a scrappy affair. On after 60. Fittingly part of an entirely new front row, a la the ‘Bomb Squad’ of his native South Africa. First, he missed his jumper entirely and then he threw it too low, making it easy for the Australians to disrupt. He won a turnover under pressure in his own half but also gave away a needless penalty on the ground. Off on 60 minutes. A handy performance and helpful around the park in the loose. Instead, the ball was held up and Australia cleared from a drop kick. It would be a shame if his missed shot at goal late on the piece is the standout memory from this one. When he did get his hands on it he was solid without being spectacular and chased admirably whenever a high kick was hoisted high from the boot. They thought Kinghorn had made the shot. His right boot made contact and the ball sailed high.

Scotland vs Australia - Report - Autumn Nations Series 2022 - 30 ... (ESPN Australia)

The Wallabies have clinched a heart-stopping 16-15 victory to end their Murrayfield misery and snap a three-game losing streak against Scotland.

The Wallabies got back in the game when they took advantage of a Scotland being a man down for skipper James Slipper to score. Off a Wallabies loose pass, Kinghorn toed the ball ahead and then kicked again, with the ball bouncing into the rangy playmaker's hands to touch down. "We got ourselves in a bit of a hole after halftime, an opportunist try and we're down 15-6 but the boys showed a lot of character and fought hard for each other and managed to hang on," Rennie said.
