Australia U20 head coach Chris Whitaker has named his side to face Scotland in their second game of the World Rugby U20 Championship in Italy on Friday.
It shapes up as a must-win clash after Australia U20 were humbled 73-17 by the Junior Springboks in their opening game of the tournament.

Australia U20 has suffered two injury setbacks with prop Nick Hill and centre Boston Fakafanua sidelined for the remainder of the tournament.
Jonah Rangiwai from the Queensland Reds has been flown in to replace Hill, while the replacement for Fakafanua will be confirmed in the coming days.
Whitaker has made significant changes, starting in the front row with Waratahs Nathaniel Tiitii and Edwin Langi into the starting side.
Joe Mangelsdorf is the lone other new face in the starting pack, partnering captain and Sydney Uni teammate Eamon Doyle.
In the backs, Cooper Watters and Sid Harvey are the lone remaining starters from the South Africa debut.
James Martens and Joe Dillon combine in the halves for the first time this tournament after coming off the bench.
Liam Grover comes into the centre with Malakye Enasio, who was a late inclusion after Dre Pakeho's injury.
Watters and Harvey are joined in the back three by young gun Nicholas Conway.
Will Guilfoyle makes his U20s debut on the bench, with USA-born Ollie Aylmer the other new face from last week.
