What they said

Head Coach Gregor Townsend said: “We know what a big game this is to end our November campaign, but also our year.

“Australia are a quality side, they always have been, and they’ve got a full squad to pick from. Some really talented, experienced players, and they’re full of confidence.”

The stats

• Scotland men go into a match with joint-top all-time try scorers for the first time since 20 November 2021 after Darcy Graham equalled Duhan van der Merwe’s 29 tries against Portugal on Saturday.
• Matt and Zander Fagerson will become the first brothers to both reach 50 caps for Scotland since Jonny Gray joined sibling Richie in reaching the milestone against Wales in March 2019. It will also be their 40th appearance together.
• Since February 2023, 17 of Sione Tuipulotu’s 18 caps have come with Huw Jones as his centre partner.
