Very much a second team, with experience on the bench.

Going to be interesting to see how Fiji bounce back after last week - big test of their maturity/mentality as a squad, they really looked to have turned a corner in recent years but it was a complete capitulation

Imagine a comfortable Scotland win is on the cards, but how much of a fight will Fiji put up?

Even though it's their second team I think the Scots will win at home. It'll be on at 6:10 am here in California, but I plan on watching it.

And about 12 hours later the USA will play Spain in the World Rugby Nations Cup. It's going to be a long day for me as a fan of both Scotland and USA Rugby.
