Recent meetings between these sides have been tight, thrilling affairs, but the final scorelines have broken Scottish hearts.

The final minutes of Scotland's 2015 World Cup quarter-final against Australia at Twickenham will haunt Scottish fans for the rest of their days. Leading 34-32 in the dying minutes, the Scots were undone by a controversial penalty award which allowed Benard Foley to kick the Wallabies to a semi-final place.

Revenge was on the minds of the Murrayfield faithful when Australia visited Edinburgh in the autumn, but again the Scots let a lead slip away late in the game as Tevita Kuridrani's try and Foley's conversion four minutes from the end sealed a 23-22 win for Michael Cheika's men.

If you're reading this you have either set the alarm very early or are rolling in very late. Either way it's great to have you with us.

It's an early start for us back in the UK for Scotland's second summer tour match. They take on Australia at the Allianz Stadium in Sydney after an encouraging victory over Italy in Singapore.

The Scots played some nice stuff as they put five-tries on the Italians but will know the Wallabies will present a far greater challenge today.
