Chris Cusiter admits he has been unable to find any weaknesses in Will Genia's game as he prepares to take on Australia's scrum-half sensation for the first time.

Scotland captain Cusiter will go head to head with 21-year-old Genia in Saturday's second autumn international at Murrayfield.

Winning their personal battle could be crucial to Cusiter's hopes of being the first man to skipper his country to victory over the Wallabies in more than 27 years.

Genia has already terrorised England during Australia's current tour of Europe, with Robbie Deans' men appearing to have finally found a worthy successor to the legendary George Gregan.

Cusiter told Press Association Sport: "Just from what I've seen on the tapes, he's a very accomplished player for a 21-year-old.

"It's hard to see any weaknesses in his game; he's a very good passer, a good kicker and very, very strong and capable of breaking.

"So we'll keep an eye on him."

Head coach Andy Robinson has placed an emphasis on Scotland recycling the ball more quickly at the breakdown than they did against Fiji in the opening November Test.

But that will also mean Cusiter being ready to make the most of it.

"Rugby's a game of basics and that quick ball is something which we'll need to put them under pressure," he said.

"Everyone has a role in that."

Robinson has also demanded a 15% improvement from his side in all departments this week and Cusiter lifted the lid on how that was being achieved.

"We've had some really good, intense sessions," he said.

"Richard Cox, our sports psychologist, has spoken to us about what that means, the 15%, and how we're going to get that.

"Ultimately, it's about us performing to a level a lot higher than we performed last weekend."

No-one more so than Simon Danielli, who made the highest-profile blunder of Robinson's first game in charge.

The Ulster star was lured off his wing by a quick tap penalty shortly before half-time, allowing Vereniki Goneva a clean run to the corner.

Having been given a second chance to impress, Danielli is determined to make the most of it.

"We've done out review of Fiji and how that game went, and what areas we can improve on," he said.

"We've looked to address that in training this week and it's been a good, tough week."

More than half the side were not even born when Scotland last beat Australia, while Danielli himself was only two years old.

"That's a frightening thought," he said.
