Where to watch Scotland vs. Australia rugby live stream, start time, lineups for Wallabies international match | Sporting News Australia

Two games into their four-match tour of the Northern Hemisphere to bring 2024 to an end, Australia’s national Rugby Union side are hitting form like never before and producing performance after performance under Joe Schmidt. England and Wales have been dealt with in nail-biting and clinical fashion respectively, and up next for the Wallabies is a trip to Murrayfield.

With Scotland and Six Nations holders Ireland to come before heading back down under, the Wallabies will still need to raise their game despite smashing Wales 52-20 in a record-breaking victory in Cardiff last time out; having beaten England 42-37 at the death seven days prior.

Scotland are still to claim a real scalp in their end-of-year Tests so far but have picked up convincing victories over Fiji and Portugal either side of a 32-15 defeat by South Africa, in which they failed to score a try. However, with Gregor Townsend’s side crossing the whitewash nine times against Portugal, Australia’s defence will have to be spot-on to keep them at bay.


The Wallabies and Scotland have played host to some amazing spectacles of Rugby – and plenty of tight matches to boot – across recent years, and The Sporting News has your guide to all the build-up and action from Edinburgh as Australia look to continue their good form with another victory on the Spring Tour.

Scotland vs. Australia lineups, team news

Scotland fielded a much-changed team in their nine-try victory over Portugal last weekend, and only one player – free-scoring Darcy Graham – keeps his place out wide amid 14 changes to Gregor Townsend’s side. As was the case last week though, the Scottish captain wears number 12, with Stafford McDowall replaced by Melbourne-born Sione Tuipulotu at inside centre – a player who had circumstances been different, could well have been lining up in Wallaby gold.

Scotland starting XV: Blair Kinghorn, Darcy Graham, Huw Jones, Sione Tuipulotu, Duhan van der Merwe, Finn Russell, Ben White; Pierre Schoeman, Ewan Ashman, Zander Fagerson, Grand Gilchrist, Scott Cummings, Jamie Ritchie, Rory Darge, Matt Fagerson.

Scotland replacements: Dylan Richardson, Rory Sutherland, Will Hurd, Alex Craig, Josh Bayliss, George Horne, Tom Jordan, Kyle Rowe.

The Wallabies, meanwhile, make six changes from their big win in Cardiff, with Samu Kerevi’s red card facilitating a return for Rugby League convert Joseph Sua’ali’i in the centres. Jake Gordon, Jeremy Williams and captain Harry Wilson all come back in, while Rob Valetini moves from number eight to join Carlo Tizzano on the flanks with Harry Potter looking to provide some magic from the left wing.

Australia starting XV: Tom Wright, Andrew Kellaway, Joseph Sua’ali’i, Len Ikitau, Harry Potter, Noah Lolesio, Jake Gordon; Angus Bell, Matt Faessler, Allan Alaalatoa, Jeremy Williams, Will Skelton, Rob Valetini, Carlo Tizzano, Harry Wilson.

Australia replacements: Brandon Paenga-Amosa, Isaac Kailea, Zane Nonggorr, Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, Langi Gleeson, Tate McDermott, Ben Donaldson, Max Jorgensen.
