NICE, France (Reuters) - There will be no mixed emotions for Scotland centre Sione Tuipulotu in Sunday’s Rugby World Cup Pool B clash against Tonga with victory the only thing on his mind as his side look to get their tournament back on track.

Scotland lost their opening fixture 18-3 to South Africa on Sept. 10 and will have had a two week break when they take to the field again, plenty of time to both digest that defeat and look ahead to what is now a must-win game.
