Exeter Chiefs prop Moray Low has been named on the bench for Scotland ahead of their Autumn international clash with Australia at Murrayfield this Saturday (2:30pm).

It is a much changed Scotland line-up from that which faced Japan in their last outing back in the summer as only full-back Stuart Hogg, second-row brothers Jonny and Richie Gray and back-row forwards John Barclay and Ryan Wilson remain in place from the 21-16 win.

Edinburgh prop Allan Dell will make his Scotland debut, while club-mate Ross Ford will win his 100th cap at hooker.

After Saturday's Test, Scotland host Argentina at the same venue on 19 November and Georgia at Kilmarnock FC's Rugby Park on 26 November.

Meanwhile, the Wallabies - who have recalled former Chiefs skipper Dean Mumm to their bench following his one-match suspension - travel to face France on 19 November, Ireland on 26 November and England on 3 December.
