Dunbar failed a medical assessment after sustaining a head injury against New Zealand last week.

Meanwhile, there are four additions to the line up with Sean Maitland, Simon Berghan, Grant Gilchrist and number eight Ryan Wilson all starting with Fraser Brown brought onto the bench.

Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend said: “Fraser Brown and Sean Maitland come back in – these are experienced players who have played very well for Scotland and it’s great that they are available for such a big game.

“We were waiting on a couple of players coming through training today, so Hamish Watson and Darryl Marfo were able to do that, so they retain their places in the team.”

Scotland team to face Australia:

Hogg (Glasgow Warriors), Seymour (Glasgow Warriors), H Jones (Glasgow Warriors), Peter Horne (Glasgow Warriors), Maitland (Saracens), Russell (Glasgow Warriors), Price (Glasgow Warriors), Marfo (Edinburgh), McInally (Edinburgh), Berghan (Edinburgh), Gilchrist (Edinburgh), J Gray (Glasgow Warriors), Barclay (Scarlets, capt), Wilson (Glasgow Warriors), Watson (Edinburgh).

Replacements: Brown (Glasgow Warriors), Bhatti (Glasgow Warriors), Z Fagerson (Glasgow Warriors), Toolis (Edinburgh), Du Preez (Edinburgh), Pyrgos (Glasgow Warriors), Horne (Glasgow Warriors), McGuigan (Sale Sharks).
