Wallabies win is the benchmark for Scotland – Bayliss

Try-scorer Josh Bayliss believes Scotland’s victory over Australia proves Gregor Townsend’s side are “building towards something”.

Bayliss came off the bench and produced a brilliant finish to grab the third of Scotland’s four tries as the hosts rounded off their Autumn Nations Series with a 27-13 victory over the Wallabies.

“It’s always great to come into this environment, and I’ve had a great last four weeks, absolutely loved it,” said the Bath back-row.

“The boys are brilliant. I think we’re really building towards something, and that’s exactly how we wanted to finish it off out there, with a win against Australia and I thought we really built that win.

“I made my debut against Australia in the autumn three years ago and to play them again and get another win, that’s the most important thing for me, to win for Scotland, for this country, is incredible.

“We don’t want to take any steps back, we’ve made this progress. What’s really important for us is to keep looking forward and this is a benchmark now, we just keep building on this.”
