SUVA, FIJI, JUL 10 – Fergus Burke will earn his first cap as Scotland faces a strong Fijian side aiming to improve their world ranking and prepare for the 2027 World Cup, coach Townsend said.
- Fiji secured a 29-14 victory over Scotland in a single test match held in Suva on Saturday, dominating a Scottish team that played the final 14 minutes with only 14 players.

- Fiji scored four tries including captain Tevita Ikanivere's first and earned a penalty try after winger Darcy Graham received a second yellow card for deliberate foul play.
- Scotland opened scoring with Kyle Rowe's early try but suffered three yellow cards and some discipline issues, with captain Rory Darge noting errors and lack of control.
- This win marked Fiji's second over Scotland in five tests, possibly impacting Scotland's World Cup seeding prospects and showcasing Fiji's rising rugby status.
