That’s the first time I have seen Scotland beat Australia. Absolutely awesome performance, it was almost entirely defensive but it was full of passion and intensity. I am so proud of the players and the coaches. Al was down at Murrayfield and said that it was like St Etienne all over again, only this time at least we deserved a win. More later in the week when I recover from the shock.

The city of Parma was in full on celebration mood for Liberation Day. Unfortunately, only Italy were having a party on the pitch as they tore apart a disorganised and depleted Scotland team, delighting a record home crowd for the Italian women’s game. Eleanor has the talking points.

I wasn’t alive the last time this happened, so I am absolutely speechless. Time to lift a few in celebration.
As an Australian, my congratulations to you on a well deserved victory. Whilst the Wallabies had the better of territory, possesion and scrum, your defensive effort was outstanding and your forwards were very committed at the breakdown.
Enjoy the win.
As for the Wallabies, the toughest side in the world to support at the moment!
Ballsy effort from the boys. What an incredible starting point. We are the equal of these teams, time to statr believing it. Never been prouder of the team. Only one way from here.
well done Scotland, as another wallabies fan I am very dissapointed but it was an incredible effort by your boys!
I think the wallabies could learn much from the heart they showed.
I was chuffed to be at Murrayfield to watch the lads beat Fiji, I’m so happy we have beat the wallabies…..brilliant team effort, cheers lads. :)
