Australia are banging on the door immediately for a reply.

Adam Ashley-Cooper with a clear run to the line and 20 metres to cover, but Stuart Hogg hares across and nails his man with a superb tackle.

Try-saver from the Scotland full-back.

"Finn Russell has been a terrific, talismanic figure for Scotland. His awareness to feed Tommy Seymour then was superb. This is what we want from Scotland. They are playing with huge heart and spirit. They have to keep it going."

"Scotland have just got to keep playing in Australia's half. The closer to 80 minutes Scotland can get and still be in this game, the more pressure they can apply."

Scotland turn the ball over inside their own half and, without a second of self-doubt, they spin wide.

David Denton rampages down the whitewash as Scotland play the one-man overlap well. He ships inside to Stuart Hogg who attempts an audacious pass over his shoulder.

It goes to ground. But Scotland are bristling with intent.

"You just sense that every time Australia throw the ball along the three-quarters, they look very dangerous. Drew Mitchell looks the one player who can unlock this Scotland defence."

The Wallabies are enjoying a dominant spell in the game...

"Will Genia has really been dictating the pace and direction of the game for Australia in this second half. But it will be interesting now that Scotland are back to a full side."

A nice confidence-builder for Bernard Foley as he lands from a bit of distance, but pretty much bang in front.

Australia are tip-toeing clear. Six points now the gap, although Scotland are back to a full contingent with Sean Maitland back from the sin-bin.

Mark Bennett is the wrong side of the breakdown and Will Genia makes the point to the referee by bulleting a pass straight at the Scotland centre's body.

Craig Joubert takes the hint and blows up for an Aussie penalty.

Can 14-man Scotland keep Australia at bay? Sean Maitland is chomping at the bit on the sidelines - soon to be released from the sin-bin.

"You can get out of your own half in many ways. Scotland's backs have got to be part of the deal with their forwards here. They shouldn't be faffing about from the kick-off like that."

"Finn Russell and Stuart Hogg will be breathing a huge sigh of relief after they made a mess of that kick-off. Don't play around in your own 22."

After a fluffed attempt to collect Bernard Foley's kick-off from Scotland, it looks for all the world like Adam Ashley-Cooper has got in at the corner to nudge Australia eight points out of reach.

There is nothing wrong with the winger's dive into the corner, but Will Genia has fumbled forward at the base of a preceding ruck.

Play called back for a scrum to Scotland.

That is a big let-off with the Aussie power-play about three minutes from ending.

Referee Craig Joubert has certainly got people talking on #bbcrugby

Scotland have still got the whip-hand at the scrum set-piece.  

Scott Sio is sent backwards by WP Nel conceding the penalty and Greig Laidlaw is as reliable as death and taxes, landing off the tee and from the angle.

"I think it was Sir Clive Woodward who said that Australia aren't the brightest team. I totally disagree with that - it was brilliant of them to go where Sean Maitland's gone off in order to score that try. I can't agree with the decision to sin-bin Maitland, though. It's going to hurt Scotland unless they play really sensibly for the next 10 minutes."
