Nine changes for Scotland versus Fiji 14 weeks after successful tour

October 31, 2024 0 By admin

Gregor Townsend has named a Scotland team to host Fiji on Saturday that has nine changes from the XV that started in the final summer tour win over Uruguay. The Scots were 31-19 winners in Montevideo on July 27, an historic day when Duhan van der Merwe became his country’s all-time record try scorer.

Fourteen weeks on from that successful completion of an unbeaten four-match tour of the Americas, the Scots have now confirmed their side for their Autumn Nations Series opener, a selection with four changes to the backs and five in the forwards.
