NICE, France — Scotland coach Gregor Townsend has made two changes to his forwards and two among the backs in his side for the Rugby World Cup match against Tonga on Sunday in Nice. The Scots opened with an 18-3 defeat to defending champion South Africa two weeks ago. Prop Rory Sutherland and lock Scott Cummings replace Pierre Schoeman and Grant Gilchrist. Center Chris Harris and right wing Kyle Steyn push Huw Jones and Darcy Graham into the reserves. Tonga will have bad memories of Steyn, who scored four tries in a 60-14 win two years ago. Tonga head coach Toutai Kefu kept the players who lost 59-16 to Ireland. Fullback Charles Piutau, centre Malakai Fekitoa, scrumhalf Augustine Pulu and number eight Vaea Fifita are all former New Zealand players.
