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.
