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.

Rarely threatening in attack after putting a combined 13 tries past England and Wales in previous weeks, the Wallabies were beaten by the Scottish defence.

At the end of his spellbinding week, there was still one more joke for the road for the ever-patient Harry Potter to endure. "You're a magician, Harry!" laughed a Wallabies teammate, scuttling by while watching the try-scoring debutant being interviewed yet once more outside the Murrayfield dressing rooms.
