Fifteen du Chardon won their match against the Wallabies at Murrayfield (15-13) on Sunday. Stuart Hogg and his teammates resisted Australian pressure late in the match.
In the midst of a first act marked by hand errors and guesses, the Scots took advantage thanks to a power test scored by third-rower Hamish Watson (22nd, 7–0). The Australian awakening was swift at the start of the second half: Rob Liotta dived into a wide in-goal from Murrayfield (45th, 7-10) to put his team in the lead.
