The Scots know that a win would give them the chance to better their No.10 seeding for the tournament.
The Scots go into the game having recovered from a 72-3 mauling by South Africa with a 41-14 win over USA in the final pool match in Wrexham and aiming for a Sunday showdown for places nine and 10 against the winners of today's Ireland v Italy game.
