Gregor Townsend has stressed the importance of "individual responsibility" before Sunday's Nations Championship fixture with Australia at Murrayfield (15:10 GMT).
The Scots conceded seven tries in defeat by New Zealand in Edinburgh last weekend, with the Wallabies losing to England at Twickenham.
Record try scorer Darcy Graham and Blair Kinghorn return to the Scotland XV, with Kinghorn taking over from Kyle Rowe at full-back and Jamie Dobie dropping to the bench to accommodate Graham on the wing. Rowe is not in the squad.
Graham, 29, was expected to miss the autumn Tests but has made a quicker-than-expected recovery from a bicep tear and returned to Edinburgh duty last month. He has 38 tries in 57 international appearances, while Toulouse's Kinghorn has 16 in 69 caps.
Townsend makes no changes to the starting pack while back-row Ollie Leatherbarrow could debut off the bench.
"The issues at the weekend were more about how we gave New Zealand opportunities within our 22, which had nothing to do really with what we did in defence," said Townsend.
"Well, someone coming offside or someone not rolling away quickly, yeah, it's part of the defence but that's more individual responsibility and making it harder for the opposition to get in our 22.
"And, yes, you have to make it as hard as possible when they're there but if you are giving those entries to the best teams in the world, they are looking to score over 50% of the time."
Australia head coach Les Kiss moves Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii from the wing to outside centre, with Harry Potter in at 11. Isaac Henry drops out, as does Declan Meredith, with Carter Gordon starting at fly-half.
In the pack, Jeremy Williams moves to lock in place of Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, with Rob Valetini coming in at blindside flanker.
