Coach Robinson hails his Scottish bravehearts
As the Wallabies licked their wounds, jubilant coach Andy Robinson praised his Scottish bravehearts for pulling off one of the great rugby muggings at Murrayfield.
In just his second Test at the helm, Robinson’s charges tackled themselves to a standstill to end Scotland’s 27-year, 16-match losing streak against Australia with a famous 9-8 victory on Saturday.

Lower your flags and march straight back to Australia, stopping at every home you pass by to beg forgiveness for a hundred years of theft, rape, and murder. Do that and your men shall live. Do it not, and every one of you will die today.
- William Wallace
Hell, those Scots did WW proud.

I have to agree that the Scots deserved the win due to their defensive effort. The Aussies outplayed them in just about every aspect of the game. 76% in the opposing side’s half and still to loose! WOW I have to say I watched that game and sat on the edge of seat from the get-go. I have read on this site, that passion does not win games as does ability but I don’t care how much you analyse that game – it came down to the passion and desire of the Scots that won the day. If ever there was an example of passion over ability – this was it. Great game Scotland and a very deserved win.

Scots were fantastic running on passion. Wallabies absolutely pathetic. I’ve watched every wallaby game since the 1984 grand slam, and love watching them play. But I’m almost at the point of wanting The Red Dragons to slaughter this feeble group… with the hope that the young guys realise they need to toughen up if they want to progress past the qtrs in the next RWC in 2011.
Even the Samoans against France showed more passion than the walllabies. Unfortunate Palu couldn’t pull off a massive hit like against the Irish…. O that’s right, the scots hardly ran the ball because they were tackling the whole time….
just PATHETIC Deans… Pathetic.

All credit to Scotland for their magnificent and proud defensive effort.
