Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend was left frustrated by aspects of his side’s performance in their 27-13 Autumn Nations Series win over Australia, but praised the way his players “found a way to win”.<\/b><\/p>\n

Much of the talk in the build-up to this game was about how Scotland needed to end the year with a positive result – the type of fixture they have to win to “be taken seriously”, as Huw Jones put it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Captain Sione Tuipulotu’s try put Scotland in front at half-time after a largely underwhelming first 40 minutes, but they upped their game after the interval and crossed for three magnificent tries from Duhan van der Merwe, Josh Bayliss and Finn Russell.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the Scots did what they had to do, turning it on at key moments against a Wallabies side high on confidence after wins against England and Wales.<\/p>\n

“There was more in us,” Townsend said. “We weren’t as accurate in the first half.<\/p>\n

“It shows we can get a win when we’re not playing as well. There were moments in the game that I loved. We’re better than some of the aspects today, but I’m proud that the players found a way to win.<\/p>\n

“I’m inwardly happy, but if there was a game next week it would be a tough review and there would be a lot of things to improve.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
