Scotland captain Sione Tuipulotu gives his reaction to 27-13 win over Australia

Transcript

00:00So, no, it's a good win, but I don't think it's the best win or anything.

00:04Yeah, we're looking forward to Six Nations now.

00:07Was it always in the team's mind to do the overthrow that led to your try?

00:11Or was that just something you decided in the moment?

00:15In the moment, it's a good idea.

00:19No, it's one of our set plays there.

00:21To be honest, I was actually against calling it there,

00:24because it was only seven metres that they had to come up.

00:26But Finn said go for it.

00:29So we went for it and it worked out pretty well.

00:31So where did that confidence come from?

00:33Because Australia played well.

00:35You didn't expect to beat them easily, did you?

00:36No, no, we didn't definitely expect them to beat them easily.

00:39But to be honest, the way we themed the week is

00:41we didn't really feel like they had played a defensive team like us.

00:44And we also didn't feel like they had played an attacking team like us.

00:48And yeah, we were very confident during the week.

00:51We knew we had to prepare well, obviously.

00:53We knew they were going to come in with confidence as well.

00:55But we knew once we got into the game

00:57that we could make them feel pretty uncomfortable with our defence, especially.

01:00How much more did that try mean to you,

01:03going in front of your gran?

01:04Oh, no, it was super special.

01:06I don't really score many tries, to be honest.

01:09Not for Glasgow and not for Scotland.

01:10But so that one was pretty special to score

01:13while my gran was here and knowing how much

01:15she also wanted to beat Australia.

01:17So no, it was really special.
