Watch Fiji v Scotland as Gregor Townsend’s men look to bounce back from last weekend’s Nations Championship defeat to South Africa.

Although this is officially a “home” game for Fiji, the Flying Fijians will feel anything but at home as they take on Scotland at Murrayfield in Edinburgh. They were comprehensively beaten by England last week in a disappointing display, and the challenge doesn’t get any easier against a Scotland side that ran the Springboks relatively close last week.

Fiji v Scotland match preview

Fiji’s introduction to the Nations Championship 2026 couldn’t really have gone much worse. The opening weekend saw them comfortably beaten by Steve Tandy’s Wales in Cardiff before they were hammered 73-8 by England last Saturday, with the inevitable Henry Pollock helping himself to a 25-minute hat-trick for good measure. It doesn’t get any easier either. Scotland and Murrayfield have proven to be a dangerous combination in recent years and Fiji head to a venue where they’ve never tasted victory.

For Scotland, it’s all about doing the business. They were superb in their 47-38 win over Argentina at the start of the month, while last week’s 42-28 defeat to South Africa in Pretoria was far kinder on the Springboks than the performance suggested. Whether they’ll be quite as fired up for this one remains to be seen, but with the chance to hand a few fringe players an opportunity, expect Scotland to put on a show in front of what will effectively be a home crowd.
