In the end, some indiscipline from the Scottish defence sees them hold off Australia but concede a penalty and Mortlock's kick is safe to put Australia ahead for the first time. | |
| 1458: England launch a sweeping attack with a fine pass from Mathew Tait putting Ben Cohen in the clear. After the big Northampton wing is halted England switch the ball into the middle, but Goode pulls an attempted drop goal wide. | |

| 1451: Scotland 10-3 Australia The reliable Stirling Mortlock kicks the first points of the match for Australia after Gavin Kerr was penalised for a high tackle.
