Finn Russell and Ben White are set to make history today as they start together at half-back for Scotland for the 28th time. This achievement draws them level with the enduring combination of Gregor Townsend and Bryan Redpath.
Scotland faces Australia in the Nations Championship, with the match kicking off at 3:10 PM GMT. The home side will be looking to continue their recent dominance over the Wallabies, having won four of their last five meetings, including a 27-13 victory in November 2024.
Australia has reshuffled their team following a significant defeat by England last weekend. Carter Gordon returns at fly-half after recovering from a broken leg, forming a new half-back partnership with Ryan Lonergan. Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii moves into midfield, and Harry Potter comes onto the wing, among other changes.
Scotland's head coach Gregor Townsend has made two changes to the side that lost to New Zealand, bringing Blair Kinghorn back at full-back and Darcy Graham on the wing. Captain Sione Tuipulotu, who has Australian connections, continues his midfield partnership with Huw Jones.
