LONDON (Reuters) - Coach Vern Cotter has changed all but one of his starting team for his Scotland side's second successive rugby World Cup warm-up match against Italy on Saturday, with wing Sean Lamont the only survivor from last week's 16-12 win in Turin.

In the front row, Edinburgh Rugby trio Alasdair Dickinson, Ross Ford and Willem Nel start the match after their impressive replacement appearances last week, with John Barclay, David Denton and Ryan Wilson offering an impressive back row.
