Scotland kick-start their Autumn Internationals 2022 with the visit of Australia to Murrayfield this Saturday afternoon.

It has been six years since Australia came out of this game as the victors, as Scotland have won the previous three encounters, but the Scots will have their work cut out in Edinburgh this time.

Much of this has to do with the omission of mercurial fly-half Finn Russell, as head coach Gregor Townsend opted to leave out the 30-year-old who plays his club rugby in France, in favour of Adam Hastings and Blair Kinghorn.

Scotland have not played since their 2-1 series defeat to Argentina over the summer, while Australia are only recently removed from the 2022 Rugby Championship which concluded at the end of September.

Finishing third in the competition by its conclusion, Dave Rennie’s team experienced a variety of emotions. Beating incumbent World Champions South Africa in August, as well as overcoming Argentina, it will be an intriguing encounter and curtain opener to the Autumn Internationals.
