LONDON – Scotland Coach Vern Cotter has made four changes to the side that beat Samoa for Scotland’s crunch quarter final clash against Australia at Twickenham on Sunday.
Hooker Fraser Brown and Lock Tim Swinson come straight off the bench and into the starting team for the suspended Ross Ford and Jonny Gray. Blair Cowan and Peter Horne also come into the side for Ryan Wilson and Matt Scott.
Alasdair Strokosch and Kevin Bryce come onto the bench for Brown and Swinson.
Scotland fans will be glad to see David Denton and John Hardie team up at the back with Hardie being a standout performer despite suffering a head injury during the pool stages.
