This means that Declan Kidney’s men moved up two slots jumping above France. The French team, led by Marc Lievremont, side leaked 46 unanswered points in the last half hour of Saturday’s night’s game. They lost to Australia 59-16.
Scotland remained in seventh place after their tight and labored victory over Samoa.
