Ratings SCOTLAND

Stuart Hogg As always, the captain led by example, showing the self-belief and the energy to inspire his team to victory

Darcy Graham Always went looking for work in a match where space was at a premium for the wide men

Chris Harris Had to dig deep against an impressive Australian midfield and grew in influence as the game went on

Sam Johnson Some important interventions in attack in addition to the usual barrel-load of work in defence

Duhan van der Merwe The winger had little possession to work with and was well tackled by Nic White when he got his one real chance

Finn Russell Played an inventive and varied game as usual, sparking some important attacks. Contributed five points with the boot

Ali Price Linked up well with his pack to keep the pressure on the Wallabies

Pierre Schoeman Just a second cap, but another mature outing from the Edinburgh prop

George Turner The Glasgow hooker was forced off by injury after only 11 minutes

Zander Fagerson Made life very uncomfortable for James Slipper in the scrum and carried well too

Sam Skinner Conspicuous for his intelligent leadership at vital times as well as his hard work at the set-piece

Grant Gilchrist Continued to put pressure on Australia deep into the game

Jamie Ritchie Some exemplary defensive work late in the game was further proof of his importance to Scotland

Hamish Watson The game’s first try-scorer was named man of the match after once more having a vital influence in a key area of the game

Matt Fagerson The Glasgow No.8 keeps growing in influence as part of an increasingly impressive back row

Best of the rest

Ewan Ashman Came off the bench early for what became a dream debut as he scored a try with a magnificent diving finish

Josh Bayliss A crucial rip from Izaia Perese with minutes to go was a crucial intervention from the Bath player on his debut

Kyle Steyn

Good contribution on both sides of the ball from the winger after coming on for the final quarter
