Scotland survived a late rally to beat Australia 15-12 in the Nations Championship at Murrayfield on Sunday as the Wallabies suffered a fourth successive defeat.

The Dark Blues led 12-5 at half-time thanks to two tries from Matt Fagerson and Australia-born Jack Dempsey to one from Wallaby wing Harry Potter.

Neither side managed another point until fly-half Finn Russell's penalty six minutes from time put Scotland two scores in front.

But Max Jorgensen's 79th-minute try, converted by Ben Donaldson, gave the Wallabies hope of an improbable win before the recalled Scotland duo of Darcy Graham and Blair Kinghorn frustrated a last-ditch Australia attack.
