Desiree Miller reaches 20 Test tries as Wallaroos rout Scotland 56-12
Desiree Miller became the first Wallaroo to score 20 Test tries as Australia thrashed Scotland 56-12 in Sydney.
The Wallaroos defeated Scotland in emphatic style at Accor Stadium, with Miller scoring tries from scrums after being shifted to full-back. Miller's opening try made her the first Australian woman to reach 20 Test tries, a milestone she celebrated with a dominant performance.
Samantha Wood controlled the game at scrum-half while Amelia Whitaker scored her maiden Test try and Maya Stewart crossed on return from an Achilles injury. The eight-try victory marks Australia's first home Test since April and follows a 30-10 win over Scotland in Edinburgh last month that ended a six-Test losing streak.
The Wallaroos will face Scotland again in Canberra on Friday. Australia scored 42 consecutive points in the first half, dismantling the Scottish defence.
