Australia clinched a 2-0 series win against Scotland with a comfortable
victory in Sydney on Saturday.

The hosts led 17-10 at the break and they pulled away in the second half
as their greater cutting edge took its toll on the Scots.

Lote Tuqiri scored twice for the hosts, whose other scores came from
Wendell Sailor, Morgan Turinui and Joe Roff.

Scrum-half Chris Cusiter grabbed Scotland's solitary try, with Dan Parks
kicking the rest of their points.

Scotland were first on the scoreboard through a Parks penalty after three
minutes despite Australia dominating the early stages.

The hosts levelled the scores with a Roff penalty with 10 minutes on the
clock but it was to be another quarter of an hour before they scored the
first try of the match.

Scotland were given the put-in at a defensive scrum but Australia produced
a mighty shove and drove them off the ball.

When they moved it to the backs Stephen Larkham ghosted through a gap and
fed Sailor, who crossed under the posts.

Four minutes later they stretched their lead as Tuqiri crossed out wide
after Radike Samo had blasted his way through the Scottish defence.

Roff converted both tries to give Australia a 17-3 lead but Scotland
refused to lie down and they picked up the pace of their game.

They looked to have got their reward when Andrew Henderson went over
but they were called back for a five-metre scrum because referee Mark
Lawrence had obstructed George Gregan.

However, they did not have long to wait for the try as scrum-half Cusiter
fought his way over after Henderson had taken a crash ball up the middle.

Parks converted to cut the gap to seven points but Australia stretched their
lead again five minutes into the second half when Tuqiri went over for his
second try after Turinui cut back against the grain from a lineout.

Parks trimmed the gap to nine points with a second penalty but despite
looking below their best Australia were comfortably in command of the game.

They stretched well clear when Turinui powered through two feeble tackles
to score under the posts with Roff again converting.

Scotland tried to finish with a flourish and nearly scored when Tom Smith
knocked on just short of the line.

But the final word went to the Wallabies, with Roff scoring their fifth
try right on the final whistle.
