Scotland coach Andy Robinson wants a strong display against Australia today.

Scotland coach Andy Robinson has called for his side to create mayhem when they face Australia on Tuesday.

The two meet at Newcastle Stadium across the globe in a Test match at 10.30am (GMT) and the visitors haven't won on Australian turf since 1982. Robinson has named a youthful Scottish team and insists that the battle at the breakdown will be crucial.

"We need to create a bit of mayhem there. We have to be really accurate inside our half, accurate defensively and accurate when we have got the ball," said Robinson.

"We have to contest the breakdown, that is why we are playing John Barclay at number eight. We have to put Australia under huge pressure in that area, we want to have a go at them, put pressure on Will Genia and slow Australia ball down.

"The only way to do that was playing Barclay and Ross Rennie together, who I think are our best two players over the ball."

Scotland beat the Wallabies 9-8 in their last encounter at Murrayfield in 2009.
