Vern Cotter has named the Scotland team to take on Samoa in Pool B on Saturday, as they look for the win that would see them join South Africa and qualify for the quarter-finals.
Finn Russell has been passed fit and rekindles his half-back partnership with Greig Laidlaw, while John Hardie has also recovered from a knock and returns to the number seven shirt.
Tommy Seymour and Sean Maitland team up with Stuart Hogg to make an all-Glasgow back three, while Mark Bennett returns to the midfield to partner Matt Scott.
In the pack, the Gray brothers team up in the engine room while Dave Denton is preferred to Josh Strauss in the number eight jersey. WP Nel, Ross Ford and Alasdair Dickinson form an all-Edinburgh front row.

Scotland you have to go some to down Samoa. They are rough, tough and have nothing to lose. As an admirer of Alan Solomons and Edinburgh rugby I wish you the best of luck.
