Fagerson Eyes 50

Matt Fagerson will play his 50th match for Scotland in The Famous Grouse Nations Series fixture against Australia at Scottish Gas Murrayfield on Saturday.

The Glasgow Warrior, who made his international debut in 2018, is named at No.8 and will anchor a back row containing openside flanker Rory Darge and Jamie Ritchie, who has been named on the blindside.

The rest of Scotland’s starting pack who faced South Africa two weeks ago is reinstated, with Grant Gilchrist and Scott Cummings once more forming the second row.

And up front, Ewan Ashman returns at hooker, either side of loosehead prop Pierre Schoeman and Zander Fagerson at tighthead.

Captain Sione Tuipulotu links up with Huw Jones to resume their familiar centre partnership, with half-backs Ben White and Finn Russell – who needs three points to reach 400 for his country – also returning to the starting XV.

In the back three, Darcy Graham – the sole starting survivor from last weekend’s 59-21 success against Portugal – lines up with fellow winger Duhan van der Merwe, as Blair Kinghorn is selected at full-back.

Hooker Dylan Richardson and props Rory Sutherland and Will Hurd provide front row cover, with the versatile Alex Craig and Josh Bayliss also named as forward replacements.
Scotland’s final 23 of The Famous Grouse Nations Series is completed by backs George Horne, Tom Jordan and Kyle Rowe.
