Scotland v Australia preview

Tommy Seymour has recovered from a leg injury sustained last weekend against South Africa and will start on the right wing.
The only other change to the back division that started against South Africa sees Duncan Weir preferred to his Glasgow Warriors team-mate Ruaridh Jackson at fly-half.
While injury worries delayed the naming of the starting back line, the pack was confirmed yesterday although lock Tim Swinson had to pull out as he aggravated a chest problem.
Grant Gilchrist comes in to partner Jim Hamilton, who will earn his 50th Test cap, while London Irish lock Kieran Low is likely make his debut from the bench.
Ryan Grant comes in to scrum with Alasdair Dickinson moving to the replacements bench.
Finally, Kelly Brown returns to captain the side with Johnnie Beattie on the opposite flank, the two replacing Alasdair Strokosch and John Barclay.
Scotland head coach Scott Johnson said: “The injuries we've experienced with four of our frontline backs sidelined during this series – Stuart Hogg, Tim Visser, Alex Dunbar and Matt Scott – have meant that we've had to think long and hard about combinations and our bench this weekend.
“We're clear in what we're trying to do at the moment which is look at different combinations with a view to intensifying the competition for places in the team. That mantra doesn't change, so we adhere to the plan, while dealing with injuries and while always being true to the jersey.
“Australia played some quality rugby against Ireland last weekend and we're very much looking forward to renewing rivalry with them on Saturday.”
Meanwhile, Mike Harris and Christian Leali'ifano will form an improbable new midfield partnership in a matchday squad that shows eight changes.
The two playmakers have walked into the Wallabies XV due to suspensions to Adam Ashley-Cooper and Tevita Kuridrani, while Matt Toomua has had his tour come to an end with a hamstring strain.
There are two other changes to the back line enforced by Ewen McKenzie who has also gone for a new line-up on the wings as 20 year-old Chris Feauai-Sautia earns his first Test start on the left wing and Joe Tomane gets a chance again on the right wing.
The pack is unchanged from last week's 32-15 win against Ireland, but prop Ben Alexander, hooker Saia Fainga'a and back Ben McCalman are drafted to the bench.
The backs will be covered  by two scrum-halves and a fly-half in Nic White, Nick Phipps and Bernard Foley.
Head Coach McKenzie said “We've made some difficult selection decisions this week and now I'll be looking to see how those individuals with an opportunity respond to the challenge.
“Christian hasn't had a great deal of experience at outside centre but he is a class player and we're confident he can adjust to the position. We'll be asking him to bring the things he does well to the game and nothing more.
“At the other end, we have the luxury of naming an unchanged forward pack from last week's win. I was really impressed by how they stood up against a stout Ireland pack and now it's their job to replicate and improve on that effort against Scotland.”
