GREGOR TOWNSEND has offered two of his wounded Lions an opportunity to recapture their status as key players in the Scotland squad.

Prop Rory Sutherland and centre Chris Harris have been added to the starting line-up for tomorrow's must-win World Cup clash against Tonga in Nice with Pierre Schoeman and Huw Jones dropping to the bench.

The pair were among the seven Scots selected for the 2021 Lions tour to South Africa, with Sutherland playing the first two Tests against the Springboks, while Harris started the second Test.

But they've fallen down the Scotland pecking order over the last two years - and this match will be their first appearances at this World Cup.

Both players got a single start against Italy - during Scotland's four-game warm-up schedule this summer.
