Back in June when Andy Robinson was appointed Scotland’s head coach he spoke about his passion for international rugby and that the role of the Scotland team was to “inspire the nation.”

Robinson, his players and management team have given every Scot, where ever they are on the globe, the chance to walk that bit taller today following yesterday’s nerve-jangling 9-8 victory over Australia at Murrayfield.

The Scotland players reported for assessment from Dr James Robson and the Scotland medical team this morning.

Captain, Chris Cusiter, who had to retire in the first-half with a head knock, had a good night’s sleep and will be subject to further assessment this week.

Dr Robson also reported “the usual bumps and bruises associated with Test match rugby,” with prop Allan Jacobsen (shoulder bruising), lock Nathan Hines (dead leg) and wing Simon Danielli (dead leg) the most significant, though, at this stage, none is causing concern for Saturday’s final Bank of Scotland Corporate Autumn Test against Argentina at Murrayfield (kick-off 2.30pm).

Tickets for that match are available now through this website from £10 for adults and £5 for children and students.

Here’s what the Sunday papers are saying about Scotland’s success.

“Awesome, brilliant, astounding.  It’s hard to find an appropriate adjective to describe Scotland’s performance against the Wallabies yesterday.” – David Sole, Sunday Post

“The full blood-curdling Murrayfield roar at long last and who will begrudge them a moment of their celebrations.” – Brendan Gallagher, Sunday Telegraph.

“A victory for the ages, a triumph of endurance and an outlandish, landmark success for Andy Robinson, a mere two steps into his journey as coach of this Scotland side.” – Mark Palmer, Sunday Times.

“I believe that this was the best defensive display I have ever seen from a Scottish rugby team.” – Kenny Logan, Sunday Times

“Stunning, simply stunning.  Mark down the date, for this was a performance and a result to write large in the history books.  Scotland played with passion, pride and a kind of courage that defies any technical analysis.  Statistically, they were barely in the game, but the scoreboard did not lie at the end.” – Alasdair Reid, Sunday Herald.

“Teams, and especially Scotland, don’t become world-class overnight but the first and easiest step to take is becoming cussed, sticky and damned difficult to beat at home and that is exactly what the men in blue were yesterday.” – Iain Morrison, Scotland on Sunday.

“A scoreline to make some people weep this may be, but it is a result that had Murrayfield rocking in a way it surely never has since, oh, probably 1982, when Scotland last beat Australia.  After 16 fruitless attempts to replicate that triumph this was about as heroic a win as Scotland have ever pulled off, and that is saying something.”  - Michael Aylwin, The Observer.

“Scotland have become the first (of the) home nations to beat a southern hemisphere side this season, and at the start of the autumn you would have got very long odds on that feat.  Robinson’s team produced one of the finest defensive performances in memory, repelling a rampant Australia time and again.  England talk about potential.  Scotland show it.” – Andy Bull, The Observer.

“When Andy Robinson first took charge of an international side at the home of Scottish rugby, in February 2006, he felt the full force of a supreme defensive effort that had his England team on the wrong end of an 18-12 upset.  It could have been the blueprint for the monumental rearguard performance that took Scotland’s head coach of five months to an overture victory of huge historical significance.” – Simon Turnbull, Independent on Sunday.

“This is a result that was unimaginable just a few short months ago and Robinson deserves all the praise that will come his way,” David Barnes, Mail on Sunday.

“Scotland produced one of their greatest ever displays to pull off a stunning smash-and-grab win over the Wallabies.” – David Kelso, News of the World.

“In terms of commitment and passion that was as good a performance as I have seen from a Scotland side.  Without any shadow of doubt it was the best defensive display I have seen from the boys in blue and in the end I can say that Scotland won because they deserved to.” – Craig Chalmers, Sunday Herald.

“Greatness in rugby takes many forms.  A player who can slalom through defences and score tries sent straight from the Gods, well, that’s one manifestation of it, for sure.  But there is another.  There is the player who lands a shuddering hit on an opponent, gets up and then chops down another, the guy who won’t stop doing what needs to be done despite the suffocating pressure of his surroundings, despite his back breaking, his legs aching and his heart feeling like it’s going to explode through his chest.  The great player ignores it all and goes again.  This is what we saw at Murrayfield yesterday.” – Tom English, Scotland on Sunday.

“On Saturday, Scotland face Argentina at Murrayfield who will certainly not be a pushover.  But they will enter that match brimming with confidence.  I hope that they have a chance to demonstrate how they are developing as an attacking side and that they score some tries.  And, most of all, I hope that Robinson and his team go into the Christmas break with an unbeaten record.  I wouldn’t bet against it on current form.” – David Sole, Sunday Post.
