Scotland play the second match of their Skyscanner Pacific Tour this weekend when they take on Fiji. Gregor Townsend’s side made a winning start by beating the Maori All Blacks 29-26 in New Zealand last week and have now travelled to the island nation for game two. It’s Scotland’s first visit to Fiji since 2017 when they suffered a shock 27-22 defeat at the hands of their hosts in what was Townsend’s third match in charge of the national team. The sides have met three times at Murrayfield since, with Scotland winning on each occasion. The tour match takes place at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva on Saturday, July 12 and it’s an early start for viewers in the UK. The game kicks off at 4am BST. The game will be shown live by subscription broadcaster Premier Sports, with coverage getting underway at 3.55am on Premier Sports 2. The channel is available in the UK on Sky, Virgin, STV Player and Amazon Prime. Premier Sports will stream the match live via dedicated apps on a wide range of devices and platforms. They will also repeat the Fiji v Scotland match at 8.30am. Scotland have made 14 changes to the team which beat the Maori All Blacks, bringing in experienced players such as Darcy Graham, Rory Darge, Jamie Ritchie, Grant Gilchrist and Rory Sutherland. Fergus Burke, the Saracens stand-off, will win his first Scotland cap. Burke came off the bench against the Maori but it was a non-cap game. Fiji: 15. Salesi Rayasi; 14. Kalaveti Ravouvou, 13.
