Scotland, Fiji Clash in Pivotal Summer Rugby Test in Suva

Fiji and Scotland are set to face off in Suva for the 13th time in a highly anticipated rugby test match, with Scotland historically dominating the series at 10 wins to Fiji’s two. Fiji, led by captain Tevita Ikanivere and including players like Haereiti Hetet and Salesi Rayasi—sons of former Fijian rugby stars—are eager to claim a home victory and build on their promising recent performance against Australia. Scotland, under coach Gregor Townsend, has brought a youthful but disciplined squad aiming to secure valuable ranking points ahead of the 2027 World Cup and maintain momentum despite missing some star players due to the British and Irish Lions tour. The match carries symbolic significance for Fiji, as it showcases a continuing rugby legacy through the participation of sons of past legends, and the home crowd is expected to create an electric atmosphere. Both teams have named new-look lineups, with Fiji making two changes and Scotland debuting Fergus Burke at fly-half while Rory Darge captains. The game will be streamed live on FloRugby and the FloSports app, providing fans in the U.S. and worldwide an opportunity to watch this important international fixture.
