Desiree Miller became the first Wallaroo to score 20 Test tries as Australia defeated Scotland 56-12 in Sydney on Saturday. Miller, shifted to fullback for the match at Accor Stadium, scored tries from near-identical plays off scrums to extend her Test try record to 21.

Australia scored 42 consecutive points in a dominant display. Scrumhalf Samantha Wood pulled the strings and kicked well. Amelia Whitaker scored her maiden try and added a second through an intercept, while Maya Stewart crossed on return from an Achilles injury and Eva Karpani scored on the buzzer, dragging three defenders over the line. Brittany Merlo also scored. Scotland's tries came from Katie Buchanan and Rachel Malcolm.

This was the Wallaroos' first Test on home soil since April and followed a 30-10 win over Scotland in Edinburgh last month that ended a run of six Test losses. The teams will play again in Canberra on Friday.
