Australia's dreams of a historic Grand Slam triumph 40 years in the making have been shattered at the hands of Scotland magician Finn Russell and his side's defensive tenacity.

EDINBURGH, Scotland — Australia’s bid for its first rugby Grand Slam in 40 years is over. The Wallabies lost 27-13 to Scotland on Sunday to end their hopes of a sweep of victories in the season-closing tour of Britain and Ireland. They’d previously beaten England and Wales, and will end the tour in Ireland next week.

The Wallabies are denied the chance of completing a rare grand slam after falling 27-13 to Scotland, while high-profile recruit Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii leaves the field with a potential tour-ending injury.
