Edinburgh: Samu Kerevi says the Wallabies need to maintain focus and try to put to a one-sided crowd out of their minds when they tackle Scotland this weekend.

During Australia's last two matches at Principality Stadium in Cardiff and Twickenham in London, the crowds have been some of the loudest in world rugby.
In what will be the Wallabies last game of the tour, Kerevi said he and teammates need to block out all external factors if they are to beat Scotland at Murrayfield.
Asked whether it felt like the Wallabies are playing against more than 15 players in the northern hemisphere because of vociferous crowds, Kerevi replied: "Yeah 100 per cent. Obviously playing at Suncorp Stadium the crowd will get you up.
"For the northern hemisphere teams, they have the atmosphere that keeps players pushing that extra 10 per cent that counts in the end.
"So the crowd plays a big role but for myself and I know a lot of other players, once we are on the field it's 15 on 15.
"They have a lot of passion. In both Wales and England, the atmosphere they have, the support they have throughout the game with the songs and that, it was really amazing.
"I'd played at Twickenham before against Argentina but to play England there was amazing.
"Playing in Millennium Stadium was another dream come true... [I'd] been playing there a lot on Rugby '08 [on PlayStation] when I was a kid."
For the third game in a row, Kerevi wore the No.12 jersey and appeared to retain his spot in the starting team against the world's sixth ranked team.
The 24-year-old has had an up and down year but has been one of the Wallabies' better backs on their spring tour.
"[I feel] real comfortable,"Kerevi said. "Training has been real good, pushing our skills and all that to try to be better. Myself and Karmichael [Hunt] have a healthy relationship pushing each other during training and doing extra skills."
Kerevi's pulsating run through the middle of the field was a highlight of the match but it was short-lived as Tevita Kuridrani knocked on and England then counter-attacked to score the first try of the match.
"I guess it was alright," said Kerevi of the 35-metre run. "I just want to do my part for the team. With a lot of kicks going back there, I just wanted to obviously execute my run.
"Obviously, I hoped T caught that but it could have been a better offload from myself."
Scotland beat the Wallabies for just the third time in 35 years in Sydney five months ago, a game Kerevi did not feature in.
"They are definitely up there," Kerevi said. "In June, they beat us at home and they are not a team to take lightly. Our prep will have to be key for us."
