Horne replaces injured Dunbar

24 Nov 2017

Head Coach Gregor Townsend has made an injury-enforced change to the Scotland team to face Australia in tomorrow’s Autumn test match at BT Murrayfield (kick-off 2.30pm) – live on BBC / BT Sport.

Glasgow Warriors centre Pete Horne scorer of Scotland’s sixth try in the opening test win over Samoa – replaces Alex Dunbar, who failed to meet the requirements of the graduated return to play protocol for the concussion he sustained against New Zealand last weekend.

Uncapped Edinburgh Rugby centre Phil Burleigh [pictured right] comes in to the match-day 23 for the first time to take Horne’s vacated place on the bench.
