Gyokeres scored two penalties in the first half, contributing to Sweden's promotion back to League A with a game to spare.

This feels like a must-win game for the Scots, with Australia coming off an atrocious performance at Twickenham in which they conceded a record number of points to old rivals England in a hopelessly one-sided 45-22 defeat that could and should have been even more emphatic as the pressure was significantly eased on Steve Borthwick after a difficult week.

He will hope to add further to that tally on Tuesday night, when Potter’s team travel to meet Poland in Wroclaw.
Scott picked up a thigh injury during that camp that it was feared could keep him out for up to two months, though the issue was not as serious as first feared and he was back on the Bournemouth bench in their last game against Ipswich.
Former player, manager and pundit Souness has made headlines on more than one occasion in recent months for his controversial comments on England midfield star Rice, saying in the summer on Piers Morgan's Football Uncensored that he might be better suited to playing at centre-back because of his limited passing abilities.
Borthwick has made 10 changes to the side that thrashed Australia for his 50th game in charge, including starts for the likes of Henry Pollock, Max Ojomoh, George Ford and Will Joseph.
