Scotland make 14 changes for Fiji clash
Gregor Townsend has named an almost entirely changed starting XV for Scotland's summer Nations Championship finale against Fiji at Murrayfield. Only Gregor Brown retains his place from last weekend's 42-28 defeat to South Africa, shifting from lock to number eight.
Darcy Graham returns to the side, with Stafford McDowall captaining the team. First starts are handed to hooker Gregor Hiddleston and flanker Freddy Douglas.
Scotland's loss to the Springboks followed an impressive seven-try victory over Argentina in Cordoba. Fiji, meanwhile, are yet to record a win in the Nations Championship, having lost to Wales in Cardiff earlier this month and suffered a heavy 73-8 defeat to England last weekend.
