Andy Robinson's Scotland face a side they have not beaten for over 17 years when they take on the Wallabies at Murrayfield on Saturday. Australia inflicted their worst defeat on Scotland in June 1998 when they scored five tries to no reply to storm to a 45-3 victory in Sydney. Scotland last beat the Australians back in July 1982 when a Keith Robertson try helped the tourists to a 12-7 win in Brisbane. The two came head-to-head in the quarter-finals of 2003 Rugby World Cup, when second-half tries from Stirling Mortlock, George Gregan and David Lyons blew away a stubborn Scotland side 33-16.
