Key areas where Scotland v Australia will be won and lost

1The Set Piece
The set piece battle should be key at BT Murrayfield this afternoon. The Scots traditionally have struggled at restarts but should at least win their own lineout throws. Their Achilles heel is the set scrum. The Scotland front row boast 100 caps coming into this game which sounds respectable until you realise that hooker Ross Ford owns 99 of them. Australia’s 
front row is one of the 
most improved in world rugby and they are sure to give the untried Scottish props a thorough examination. 
Advantage: Australia
