Results and fixtures
Friendlies
Australia hosted a three-match test series against Scotland.[1] There was much criticism of the Scottish squad after a number of their best players had elected to stay behind because of their clubs commitments in Europe. The matches were recognised as A international matches for Australia, but not for Scotland.[2]
