EDINBURGH, Nov 13 : Australia have brought Carter Gordon back into their line-up for Sunday’s Nations Championship clash against Scotland as they continue to search for a settled flyhalf ahead of next year’s World Cup.
• There are three changes to the Wallabies’ starting line-up after last Sunday’s listless performance against England at Twickenham, where they lost 45-22
• Gordon plays for the first time since suffering a broken leg in the 28-28 draw with Argentina in Mendoza two months ago
• Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii is restored to centre to partner Len Ikitau, who earlier this week suggested the pair were the best option for the Wallabies in midfield
