  2. "We'll learn from mistakes" - Townsendpublished at 19:51 British Summer Time 29 October 2022

    FT: Scotland 15-16 Australia

    Scotland Head Coach Gregor Townsend tells Prime Video Sport: "We're together. We're obviously very disappointed to lose a game, especially when it's close. When you lose playing for Scotland, it's disappointing.

    "On the flip side, you can have amazing days in sport when the score goes your way. We just have to be together and learn from the moments.

    "We know there were moments in the game that didn't go out way, but we created opportunities at the end to win the game.

    "He'll feel it more than anybody. We've got to look at the whole performance, where we had opportunities at the try-line in the first half. That's sport. Our teamwork was there, we had a big opportunity at the end, but we'll learn from it over the next few weeks.

    "Discipline is a big word. There's lineouts, things around the tackle area to look at. We know it was a huge penalty count today."

    FT: Scotland 15-16 Australia

    Australia Head Coach Dave Rennie tells Prime Video Sport: "It was pretty tough to watch that last kick when I heard the crowd going off. It was a tough game, it could have gone either way.

    "We're well aware of the task [France pose] but we'll go there and give it a crack."

    Scotland played well today. They didn't spark fully, but broadly speaking it was positive.

  7. 'We have to get around Kinghorn' - Ritchiepublished at 19:32 British Summer Time 29 October 2022

    FT: Scotland 15-16 Australia

    Scotland captain Jamie Ritchie tells Prime Video Sport: I'm proud of the boys", he said. "We fought really hard for that. There were a couple of times we were under the pump.

    "We had an opportunity to win at the end, but we have to get around Blair (Kinghorn). Unfortunately, he didn't make the kick but it's not his fault. There were earlier opportunities in the game to win it, so I'm proud of the boys' effort and we'll be back next week.

    "Discipline is something we spoke about. I think in any game you just have to read it. You're not in control of that, the referee's in control of that but we probably do need to be a bit cleaner for the next week.

    "It's a hugely proud day for me (to captain Scotland). It's big for me and my family and I look forward to taking it forward."

    That was arguably Blair Kinghorn's best performance in a Scotland shirt, but that missed penalty is what folk will remember.

    It's a game of fine margins...

    Penalty on top of penalty on top of penalty gave Australia access back into the game. In the end, they didn't have to do much.

    Scotland will look back on this game with regret.

    They have thrown away what would have been a fourth consecutive win over the Wallabies.

    That's the dream for Scotland. They'll hopefully piggyback up the pitch now.

    Scotland win a scrum penalty through WP Nel and have a great chance to gain territory here.

    Five minutes to find that all-important score.
