Autumn Nations Series | Highlights: Scotland v Fiji

by Charlie Bennett

Scotland scored four tries en route to their first win of the 2022 Autumn Nations Series in a hard-fought 28-12 victory against Fiji at an anxious BT Murrayfield.

The Pacific Islanders led for much of the first half thanks to tries from Seta Tuicuvu and Ratu Leone Rotuisolia, following George Turner’s early score for the hosts, and threatened to add to their tally as Scotland continued to struggle with ill-discipline.

However, Adam Hastings’ composed finish eased the tension and put the hosts 14-12 ahead on the stroke of half-time, before Duhan van der Merwe provided some much-needed breathing space nine minutes after the break.

Ben White’s late try cemented the result on the day former head coach Vern Cotter returned to BT Murrayfield.
