  • Scotland have won 7 of their last 9 matches against Fiji.
  • Scotland have won their last 5 matches.
  • Fiji have won 5 of their last 6 matches.

Head to Head


Scotland won their last match against Fiji 28-12 at home. The fixture took place in 2022.

Scotland Form


Scotland enjoyed a solid Six Nations campaign earlier this year despite suffering a defeat to Italy in the penultimate round. The Scots did take the Irish to the death in the final game, losing by just four points.

In July, Scotland toured the Americas and as expected, got resounding victories in all games. They beat Canada 73-12, the USA 42-7, Chille 52-11 and Uruguay 31-19.

Scotland will want some big performances at Murrayfield over December. Their big games will come against South Africa next weekend and Australia on 24 November, but Fiji will be a tough challenge as well.

Scotland Injuries & Team News


This will be Scotland’s toughest test by some distance since the completion of the Six Nations earlier this year. They should be at full strength.

Fiji Form


Fiji had a very impressive 2023 season where they beat England in the lead up to the World Cup, then defeated Australia in the group stage to advance to the quarter-final. Once there, the Fijians lost narrowly to England.

In July, Fiji beat Georgia away in what was a very impressive result. They lost heavily to the All Blacks a couple of weeks later though.

In the World Rugby Pacific Nations Cup, Fiji defended their title with ease despite not having all their best players available. On the way to the final, Fiji beat Samoa, Tonga and the USA and then dominated Japan in the final

Fiji Injuries & Team News


Fiji have most of their top players available as this falls within the international window. The Fijians will fancy another big scalp.

I am backing Fiji to get within 20 points of Scotland Duhan van der Merwe is backed in the try scoring markets.
