Genia back at No 9

Will Genia will start at scrumhalf in the only change to the Wallabies' starting lineup for Saturday's Test against Scotland.

Genia didn't feature in the Wallabies' 32-8 hammering of Wales last weekend, because that game fell outside the Test window. He will now slot straight into the run-on XV after being released by French club Stade Français for the rest of Australia's tour of Europe.

Genia's inclusion sees Nick Phipps drop to the bench, with Nick Frisby falling out of the match 23. Dean Mumm, Will Skelton and Tom Robertson are the only other additions to the reserves.

Wallabies – 15 Israel Folau, 14 Dane Haylett-Petty, 13 Tevita Kuridrani, 12 Reece Hodge, 11 Henry Speight, 10 Bernard Foley, 9 Will Genia, 8 Lopeti Timani, 7 Michael Hooper, 6 David Pocock, 5 Adam Coleman, 4 Rory Arnold, 3 Sekope Kepu, 2 Stephen Moore (c), 1 Scott Sio.
Subs: 16 Tolu Latu, 17 Tom Robertson, 18 Allan Alaalatoa, 19 Rob Simmons, 20 Will Skelton, 21 Dean Mumm, 22 Nick Phipps, 23 Quade Cooper.
