Australia face Scotland at Murrayfield on Sunday with coach Joe Schmidt trying to keep a lid on talk of a Grand Slam in a remarkable turn of events for the Wallabies.

Australia have had limited training this week due to frozen pitches ahead of their Autumn international clash with Scotland at Murrayfield on Sunday, but are hoping their red hot form can take them to a Grand Slam finish to the year.

Will Skelton says Australia are preparing for their toughest game so far on their autumn tour when they face Scotland on Sunday.

Scotland have made 14 changes to their starting XI for the Autumn international clash with in-form Australia at Murrayfield on Sunday, including a return for mercurial flyhalf Finn Russell.

Australia had been so poor for a couple of years that they didn't present the daunting air that they used to. Now things look different. They have beaten England after being well behind in the early stages and last week ran up the sort of score against Wales that in other years would have had anyone reading the score in an evening paper to have thought it a misprint.
