Tolkin changes 13 for pool finale
The US Eagles face Japan in Gloucester on Sunday.
The 13 changes are one short of a team record. The Eagles made 14 changes to their starting line-up on two occasions at World Cup 2011.
Only Samu Manoa and Zach Test retain their place in the starting line-up.
Chris Wyles is back to captain the side.
With his 11th World Cup appearance, Wyles will equal the US team record held by Mike MacDonald.
Wyles has recorded 28 career World Cup points.
Any score by him will place him outright second in Eagles history, behind Mike Hercus and his 77 points registered in World Cup matches.
All players in the current US squad have seen action at World Cup 2015, but none of them have played in all 240 minutes of their current World Cup campaign.
