Vastly experienced scrum-half Ali Price has replaced Gus Warr in Scotland’s training squad leading up to this weekend’s game against Australia at Murrayfield.

Otherwise, Scotland have no fresh updates to report in the wake of Saturday’s disappointing 43-21 defeat to New Zealand.

Warr has returned to his club side, Sale Sharks, after being involved in training ahead of the All Blacks game, while Price, who plays his club rugby for Montpellier in the Top 14, is now in line to win his 69th cap for his country.

The 33-year-old British and Irish Lions international was last capped by Scotland against Fiji two years ago, having made his debut against Georgia back in 2016.

Price has made seven appearances for Montpellier this season, starting in three of them.

He joins fellow Top 14 player Ben White and George Horne as scrum-half options, along with utility player Jamie Dobie, for the visit of the wounded Wallabies.

Scotland have won four of the last five fixtures between the teams, and the solitary defeat was by a single-point margin, Blair Kinghorn missing a last-gasp kick to overturn a 16-15 scoreline against them in 2022.
