Wallabies’ grand slam dream ends at the hands of Scotland as Suaalii suffers injury

That’s where we are going to leave our coverage of the Wallabies’ Test against Scotland.

After winning their opening two Tests, the Wallabies fell to an impressive Scottish outfit, who had all the answers when challenged by the tourists.

Make sure to join us again on Sunday morning (AEDT) when the Wallabies face Ireland in Dublin to conclude their spring tour.

Bye for now!

SCOTLAND WINS 27-13!

Congratulations to the Scots, who claim a deserved win on home soil.

They scored four tries to one and always seemed to be one step in front of the Wallabies.

Excellent Scottish defence and their own poor discipline hurt the Wallabies, whose hopes of a claiming a grand slam have been dashed.

To further sour the result, Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii left the field with a wrist/arm injury late in the first half.

It’s too early to tell if his tour is over as he will have to undergo scans to determine the severity of the injury.

Credit to the Wallabies as they are refusing to give up.

Winger Harry Potter has scored on debut for the Wallabies after chasing through on a Tate McDermott kick.

Potter got to the pill inches before the dead-ball line, juggling and grounding it just inside the field of play.

The TMO had several looks before awarding the try, which was converted by replacement fly half Ben Donaldson.

There are some tired bodies out their wearing Wallabies colours and Scotland can clearly see this.

This time it’s Finn Russell who scores a five-pointer following some excellent lead-up play, although he failed to convert his try.

Scotland lead 27-6.

Scotland has its third try of the match, with reserve forward Josh Bayliss touching down in the right-hand corner.

The home side took advantage of some weary Wallabies defence to push play down the field, before Bayliss finished off the movement to cross the stripe.

The conversion attempt was unsuccessful but Scotland is well in front to the tune of 22-6.

The Wallabies came close to scoring just when it appeared Scotland was poised to cross for another try.

The Scots turned over possession with some poor work from a line-out deep inside the Wallabies’ half, allowing Rob Valetini to kick down field.

Max Jorgensen chased through to collect the ball and the Wallabies had Scotland’s defence on the back foot.

But Tate McDermott, on for Jake Gordon at scrum half, kicked from the base of a ruck to find Sione Tuipulotu on hand to take a mark inside the Scottish 22.

A breakdown penalty given away by the Scots allows the Wallabies a genuine attacking opportunity close to their opponent’s line.

Noah Lolesio kicks for touch and the Wallabies win the line-out, but Scotland’s defensive maul halts the charge of the tourists and they are rewarded a scrum feed.

This time the Murrayfield crowd have something to cheer as winger Duhan van der Merwe crosses for Scotland’s second try.

Sustained Scottish attack saw the Wallabies’ defence stretched inside their own half, and van der Merwe went over close to the left touchline.

Finn Russell converts to establish a 17-6 lead for the Scots.

The Murrayfield crowd is up in arms after Scotland scrum half Ben White goes down following a collision with Wallabies fullback Tom Wright while on attack.

White went with a chip and chase just outside the Wallabies’ 22 and hit the turf when he ran into a stationary Wright.

Referee Chris Busby ruled play on but eventually went to the TMO, who judged Wright had held his line as he is allowed to do.

No penalty to Scotland and the local spectators are furious, despite the right call being made by the match officials.

Scotland makes a mess of the restart following Finn Russell’s penalty goal.

This time it’s the Wallabies who have a chance of points, and Noah Lolesio makes no mistake to cut Scotland’s lead to 10-6.

Another penalty to Scotland but this time the hosts opt for the points from the tee.

An easy shot from the boot of Finn Russell puts his side out to a 10-3 lead.

Again, we’re barking about the Wallabies giving away penalties!

An infringement at the breakdown inside the Wallabies’ half gifts the Scots a penalty, however they waste the chance after a crooked throw from the line-out that followed the kick for touch from the ‘full-arm’.

Play is back underway after the half-time break, with Scotland holding a 7-3 advantage on the scoreboard.

Can the Wallabies regain the lead and keep their grand slam hopes alive?

Let’s find out!

We mentioned earlier the Wallabies weren’t doing themselves any favours with the number of penalties they have conceded against Scotland.

Ahead of the second half, the Wallabies have given up eight penalties to Scotland’s six.

Against Wales, the Wallabies were penalised on 10 occasions while the Welsh conceded eight.

The penalty count was 8-6 against England in the first Test of the tour, with the Wallabies coughing up six inside their own half.

Not the news Wallabies fans want to hear, with Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii ruled out for the remainder of the match due to a suspected broken wrist.

The former NRL star sustained the injury in a heavy collision with Scotland skipper Sione Tuipulotu.

If the severity of the injury is confirmed that will be tour over for Suaalii.

As we head to oranges, it’s Scotland who hold the upper hand, albeit via a tight scoreline.

The Scots could be further ahead on the scoreboard if they had not wasted several attacking opportunities when inside the Wallabies’ half.

As we approach half-time, the Scots have been camped well inside the Wallabies’ half for sustained periods.

They have been their own worst enemy at times, having committed turnovers in attack to take the pressure of the Wallabies’ defence.

Wallabies loosehead prop Angus Bell has received treatment for what appears to be an upper-leg injury.

But he got back to his feet for a scrum five metres out from the Wallabies’ line, with the visitors having the feed.

There is cause for alarm for Wallabies fans with Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii leaving the field.

Suaalii came off the worst when he attempted to tackle Sione Tuipulotu close to the Wallabies’ line.

He appeared to sustain a wrist injury, while broadcaster Stan suggested he also went off for an HIA.

Max Jorgensen has taken to the field in place of Suaalii.
