Scotland are appealing against the three-week suspensions handed to Ross Ford and Jonny Gray that have ruled both forwards out of the remainder of the Rugby World Cup.
The Scottish Rugby Union confirmed the appeal on Thursday on its official Twitter account.
Ford and Gray were punished for committing a dangerous two-man tip-tackle on Samoa's Jack Lam in last weekend's final Pool B game in Newcastle.
Scotland play Australia in the quarter-finals on Sunday (0200 AEDT Monday) at Twickenham.
On Wednesday, Scotland forward Josh Strauss had vowed to beat the Wallabies in tribute to the banned pair.

Strauss felt his teammates were treated harshly and pledged to take out his frustration on the Aussies.
"We are all very disappointed for Ross and Jonny," Strauss said.
"Being a close group of lads, we know each other very well and these are two very determined guys.
"It was a tough call [for the disciplinary officer] and I don't have to make them but we feel it was tough on them.
"When I heard it myself, and I can only speak for myself, I was angry.
"It was more for them. I can imagine myself in their shoes and how I would feel if it was me.
"But personally that is good for me. It motivates me. I want to put in a performance for them if I'm selected. I want to make them proud because they have made all of us proud."
