The Wallabies turn their attention to Scotland as Les Kiss' side looks to turn around their fortunes with a win.
The Scots have enjoyed recent success over the Australians, but the Wallabies will be hungry for a response after last week's defeat to England.

Rugby.com.au breaks down what you need to know about Scotland
Scotland have had a promising 2026 season as they look for consistency heading into the November Tests.
They took down big scalps France and England in the Six Nations, but fell to Italy and Ireland, denying them a title.
Currently, they sit fourth in the Northern Hemisphere in the Nations Championship, with wins over Argentina and Fiji offset by defeats to South Africa and New Zealand.
Backs: Fergus Burke, Jamie Dobie, Darcy Graham, George Horne, Rory Hutchinson, Huw Jones, Tom Jordan, Blair Kinghorn, Stafford McDowall, Ali Price, Kyle Rowe, Finn Russell, Ollie Smith, Kyle Steyn, Sione Tuipulotu, Duhan van der Merwe, Ben White.
Forwards: Ewan Ashman, Josh Bayliss, Ollie Blyth-Lafferty, Gregor Brown, Scott Cummings, Alex Craig, Rory Darge, Jack Dempsey, Freddie Douglas, Matt Fagerson, Zander Fagerson, Jonny Gray, Gregor Hiddleston, Will Hurd, Ollie Leatherbarrow, Nathan McBeth, Liam McConnell, D’arcy Rae, Pierre Schoeman, Rory Sutherland, Seb Stephen, Max Williamson
Scotland have largely a full squad available for selection heading into the Nations Championship.
Forwards Jamie Richie and Elliot Millar Mills were late withdrawals from their initial squad, replaced by Ollie Blyth-Lafferty, D'arcy Rae and Freddy Douglas
All eyes are on Finn Russell as the superstar flyhalf looks to weave his magic.
Russell is one of the most unpredictable players in World Rugby, with his combination with Aussie-born Sione Tuipulotu electric.
In the forwards, hooker Ewan Ashman is coming off a hat-trick against the All Blacks, the first player to ever do so against the Kiwis in the first half.
Jamie Dobie is a unique hybrid player for Scotland, finding a role on the wing.
The scrumhalf is rapid and has been in red-hot form for Glasgow, scoring four tries in five games.
Not a new face but one that may have slipped under many radars, is flyhalf Fergus Burke: the former Crusader called up during last year’s Nations Series.
Gregor Townsend is one of the longest-serving coaches, taking over Scotland in 2017.
Transitioning from a highly successful international career, Townsend has taken Scotland to another level, with positive records against France, Australia and England.
The most notable Australian connection is skipper Sione Tuipulotu, who has been a revelation since moving from the Melbourne Rebels.
Tuipulotu has emerged as one of the best inside centres in the world and has relished the chance to face his country of birth whenever he gets the chance.
It’s a similar story for number eight Jack Dempsey, with the former Wallaby making his Scottish debut in 2022
Scotland have slowly turned the tide against the Wallabies after Australia’s early dominance.
The ledger still sits in favour of the Aussies, who currently hold a 22-13 all-time advantage.
However, Scotland have got the better of the Wallabies in the last five match-ups, claiming four of them.
