Gregor Townsend has called on Scotland to channel the spirit of Paris as they prepare to host in-form Australia in Sunday’s Autumn Nations Series clash.

The head coach is delighted that he has been able to name a team featuring 14 of the 15 players who started the Six Nations victory away to France in March, with the injured Rory Sutherland the only absentee from that side.
