- 1385
Mike Tolkin has announced the USA team to play Scotland in their Rugby World Cup 2015 Pool B match in Leeds.
Tolkien has made only one change to the starting line-up which lost to Samoa last Sunday. Hooker Zach Fenoglio has been replaced by Phil Thiel.
For them, this is the fewest changes between successive World Cup matches since 2007, when they also made one change following their opener in the tournament.
Chris Wyles and Takudzwa Ngwenya will feature in their ninth World Cup match, which means they are chasing only two Eagles with more RWC caps: Mike McDonald (11) and Alec Parker (10).
Wyles has registered 28 World Cup points and needs two more to move into outright second place in team history in this respect, behind Mike Hercus (77).
