Scotland fullback Ollie Smith understands that playing the Fiji Water Flying Fijians will not be an easy task as the side has a star-studded backline and players that play all over the world.
He says they will need the whole group to play against the Pacific nations Fiji and Samoa in their upcoming test matches next month.
Smith says Fiji obviously did so well in the last World Cup, and they have been playing some good rugby.
He is also heartened by the calibre of squad coach Gregor Townsend has been able to put together with Scotland missing seven key players who are on British and Irish Lions duty.
Smith says they need to climb back up the rankings, and the Fiji and Samoa games are two matches they know they need to do well in.
Scotland is in 7th place in the World Rugby rankings, while Fiji sits in 9th place and Samoa is at 14th.
Scotland will open their test match campaign against the Flying Fijians on the 12th of July at 3pm at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva.
They will then take on Samoa on July 18th at Eden Park, New Zealand.
Meanwhile, the Flying Fijians departed our shores this morning for Australia, where they will prepare to face the Wallabies next Sunday at 3.30pm in Newcastle.
