Australia will take on Scotland in the Rugby World Cup on October 21 at Coventry Building Society Arena (Coventry). Lana Skeldon’s touchdown and a penalty try gave Bryan Easson’s team a 12-0 halftime lead, but Australia came back strongly in the second half. The Wallaroos scored two goals thanks to Bienne Terita and Ashley Marsters as they concluded the exhausting game with 13 players. Scotland must now defeat New Zealand the following Saturday to maintain their chances of moving on. The defensive play of Molly Wright and Emma Orr helped Scotland get off to a strong start, and when they booted a penalty into the corner, Skeldon dove over for her second World Cup try. Australia found it difficult to establish a rhythm during the initial exchanges.
The result of Scotland’s defensive discipline was shaky exits and an inability to reliably cross the gain line. Following a period of consistent pressure on the Australian try-line, Scotland increased their advantage. Adiana Talakai, an Australia hooker, stopped a second menacing rolling maul illegally, and referee Lauren Jenner marched beneath the posts to call a penalty try and sin-bin Talakai as well. Australia did inside the Scotland 22 thanks to a blistering 50-meter burst from Eva Karpani as halftime loomed, but Scotland held on to take a 12-0 advantage into the break. Once the second half started, Jay Tregonning’s squad improved, propelled by some enormous carries by Karpani.

However, Scotland’s continued tenacious defense and a string of handling mistakes prevented them from scoring. However, it only took a short while for possession and territory to be converted into points, and Australia managed to score after an hour. After a series of phases within Scotland 22, Terita walked over to the corner. After a heavy tackle on Scotland captain Rachel Malcolm, Terita was fortunate not to receive a card of any color, and the excellent winger took advantage of her reprieve.
