(Reuters) -Fiji have kept all but two of the starters from last weekend's narrow loss to Australia for their test against Scotland in Suva, the country's rugby union said on Thursday.

Sireli Maqala has been promoted from the bench to replace Iosefo Masi at centre while Mesake Doge takes over from veteran prop Peni Ravai, who picked up an elbow injury in the 21-18 loss to the Wallabies at Newcastle.
