Australian rugby team forced to cut training short so the Peffermill pitch was kept in good condition for the Edi Uni team

The Australian rugby team were left unhappy by the conditions and their treatment at Peffermil this week ahead of their game against Scotland this Saturday.

Retiring former Wallabies captain Stephen Moore expressed his dissatisfaction with the the Peffermill pitch, calling it "disappointing" and "one of the poorest surfaces I've ever seen" to the Sydney Morning Herald.

Not only were they unhappy with the quality of the pitch, but they also reportedly were asked to leave after a short while in order to preserve the surface for Edinburgh Uni's match against Durham the following day.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, they had earlier declined the opportunity to train on a Murrayfield practice pitch in the fear that Scottish coaches might spy on their session.
