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.

Robinson's men picked up a 23-10 victory over the Islanders on Saturday and he has challenged them to build on that patchy performance against a Wallabies side that will be keen to forget a disappointing draw with Ireland at Croke Park on Sunday.

Their Grand Slam chances are now gone, but the tourists have quickly turned their attentions to an unbeaten tour. 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.

"We are giving the players the opportunity to perform against the Wallabies, who are a top quality international side - the sort that everyone wants to test themselves against," said Robinson. "Competition for places is intense and we'll be watching the Scotland 'A' game against Tonga in Gala on Friday night very closely. But we are saying to the players for Saturday step up this weekend and show improvement."

Scotland's final November Test comes against the Pumas at Murrayfield on November 28.
