Dunbar blow for Scotland


Scotland Head Coach Gregor Townsend has made an injury-enforced change to his team to face Australia in tomorrow’s Test match at Murrayfield.

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 centre Phil Burleigh comes in to the matchday 23 for the first time to take Horne’s vacated place on the bench.
