Scotland will be banking on home advantage - Byrne

Scotland will be banking on their home advantage when they take on the Fiji Water Flying Fijians this weekend at Murrayfield.

Flying Fijians coach Mick Byrne says Scotland is a good side, well coached and they play a good solid brand of rugby.

Byrne also spoke highly of Scotland’s coach Gregor Townsend saying when Townsend played the game, he saw it differently to most players that Byrne knows.

He says he has a lot of respect for Townsend and he is coaching Scotland really well.

Meanwhile, the Flying Fijians have a chance to climb up another notch in the World Rugby rankings if they pull off a win against Scotland.

Fiji is currently sitting in 9th place and a win will see them take over Scotland and move to 7th place.

And if this happens, it will be the first time in 8 years that the Flying Fijians will be above Scotland.

The Flying Fijians will play Scotland at 5.30am this Sunday in their first test of the November tour.

They will take on Wales at 1.40am on Monday 11th November at the Millennium Stadium before playing Spain at 2am on the 17th of November in their third test.

The Flying Fijians will then take on Ireland in their final test on the 24th of November at 3.10am.
