Australia 84-0 Scotland: Addo-Carr scores four tries as holders run riot

By Sports Desk October 21, 2022 680

Josh Addo-Carr scored four tries and Campbell Graham claimed a hat-trick as Australia dished out an 84-0 Rugby League World Cup thrashing to Scotland.

The rampant holders made it two Group B wins out of two, running in 15 tries to claim victory by their second-biggest margin ever on a miserable Friday in Coventry for Scotland.

Australia showed no mercy on the Bravehearts as they equalled their own record of 14 consecutive World Cup wins, Addo-Carr following up his double in the win over Fiji with an early score before Jack Wighton, Angus Crichton and Graham crossed.

Fragile Scotland were unable to live with the relentless Kangaroos, who had 44 points on the board at half-time after the rapid Addo-Carr raced from his own half to score, Wighton touched down again and Nathan Cleary helped himself to a debut try.

There was no let-up from the tournament favourites after the break, Addo-Carr and Graham completing their trebles after Ben Hunt and James Tedesco went over.

Matt Burton also scored a debut try and set up Addo-Carr for the try of the night in the closing stages with an incredible pass, while Isaah Yeo got in on the act with a score and the excellent Cleary finished with a 28-point haul in a ruthless rout.
