Scotland coach Andy Robinson has called on the same match-day 22 as for last weekend's victory over Fiji for the visit of Australia to Murrayfield on Saturday. Chris Cusiter will lead the home side once again and partners Phil Godman at scrum-half as the Scots search for their first victory over Australia since 1982.

Last weekend's try-scorers, Johnnie Beattie and Graeme Morrison, are retained and Worcester centre Alex Grove will win his second cap.

Robbie Deans has made only a single change to his Australia side as they look to keep alive an unbeaten tour. Veteran openside George Smith replaces David Pocock in the back-row, with the impressive Pocock earning only a rest for his Man of the Match performance against Ireland.

The 20-20 draw at Croke Park wrecked the Wallabies' Grand Slam attempt but they have now switched their attention to remaining unbeaten in their remaining November Tests against the Scots and Wales. Last week's try-scorers Drew Mitchell and skipper Rocky Elsom back-up, while Richard Brown gets his first taste of Test action on tour from the bench.

Quade Cooper and Digby Ioane continue their blossoming centre partnership and Will Genia and Matt Giteau will want to build further as the Wallabies' go-to halfback pairing.
