Dan Parks is one of six Glasgow players in Scotland's starting XV for the match with Australia at Hampden on Saturday
Matt Williams has named an unchanged starting line-up for Saturday's Abbey Autumn Test against Australia at Hampden Park, Glasgow (ko 2.45pm).

The only change from the squad that romped to a record-breaking 100-8 victory over Japan is on the bench where prop Bruce Douglas (The Borders) replaces Edinburgh Rugby's Craig Smith.

Matt Williams today encouraged Scotland supporters to be out in force at Hampden.

"It would be wonderful if we could get a big enough crowd at Hampden to get behind the team in the same manner as the crowd at Perth last weekend.

"My plea would be to come and support your team. It really makes a difference," Williams said.

Good to see the same XV get another go at Australia but Gavin Kerr is just keeping the jersey warm until Euan Murray is back to full match fitness.
