Fergus Burke Debuts as Scotland Faces Fiji in Pacific Tour

Fergus Burke, the New Zealand-born Saracens fly-half who qualifies for Scotland through his Edinburgh-born grandfather, is set to win his first Scotland cap in the upcoming test against Fiji in Suva. Head coach Gregor Townsend has made 14 changes from the previous match against the Maori All Blacks, with Burke moving from a substitute appearance to the starting lineup, alongside debutant scrumhalf Jamie Dobie. The team also welcomes back Matt Fagerson and Kyle Steyn, both returning from injuries, while Rory Darge will captain the side for the first time on this tour. Cameron Redpath returns to the midfield after his English Premiership victory with Bath, partnering with Tom Jordan. This match marks the second game of Scotland's Pacific tour, with a subsequent fixture against Samoa in Auckland. The squad remains without eight players who are with the British & Irish Lions in Australia.
