Scotland win a hard-fought bonus-point victory against a reborn Fiji in a pulsating Nations Championship battle at Murrayfield.

Scotland won a hard-fought bonus-point victory against a reborn Fiji in a pulsating Nations Championship battle at Murrayfield. Gregor Townsend's team finished an impressive summer campaign with a thunderous second half featuring huge contributions from his bench. Substitutes Pierre Schoeman and Scott Cummings both scored when coming on to the field. Another replacement, Jamie Dobie, scored twice. Fiji had been destroyed by England last weekend but came to Murrayfield with a menace and brilliance that was painfully absent just seven days ago. Jonny Gray might have opened the scoring, but Fiji controlled the scoreboard for the rest of a half during which they played sumptuously. Hooker and captain Tevita Ikanivere, wing Selestino Ravutaumada and number eight Elia Canakaivata all scored in rapid order, the third one coming while openside Lekima Tagitagivalu was in the bin. Scotland scored zero points in those 10 minutes, a return that reflected their pedestrian and predictable showing in that opening half. Everything changed when Townsend started using his bench, Schoeman and Dobie, both scoring not long after appearing. Dobie added a second late on.
