How to watch Fiji v Scotland for free – TV channel and kick-off time

Gregor Townsend has made 14 changes to his starting side as they take on the Flying Fijians at Murrayfield

Scotland close their summer Nations Championship campaign with a showdown with Fiji at Murrayfield, with head coach Gregor Townsend naming an almost entirely changed starting side.

With 14 changes made, Gregor Brown is the only the survivor from last weekend’s defeat to South Africa as he shifts from lock to number eight. Darcy Graham returns to the side, with Stafford McDowall named as captain and first starts handed to hooker Gregor Hiddleston and flanker Freddy Douglas.

Scotland’s 42-28 defeat to the Springboks followed an impressive seven-try victory over Argentina in Cordoba, while Fiji are yet to record a Nations Championship win, with their defeat to Wales in Cardiff earlier this month followed by a bruising 73-8 defeat to England last weekend.
