It proved a landmark day for two standouts, with 31-year-old Locke Leonard becoming the first Wallaroo ever to win a half-century of caps, and Desiree Miller scoring their opening to try six minutes before the break to rack up 100 test points.

The 24-year-old Sydney speedster's try still wasn't enough to drag Australia back onto level terms, as No. 8 Evie Gallagher's 15th-minute score, plus a conversion and penalty from Helen Nelson, gave the hosts, that's Scotland, the interval advantage.
