Scotland scrum-half Greig Laidlaw says they must "grow up right throughout the team" to start winning tight matches against the top nations.

Vern Cotter's side were on course to beat Australia but succumbed to a late Tevita Kuridrani try on Saturday.

The result evoked memories of a late defeat by the same opponents in last year's World Cup quarter-finals.

"Everybody must understand what's working for us to make sure we get over the line," said Laidlaw.
