The Fiji Water Flying Fijians have a chance to climb up another notch in the World Rugby rankings if they pull off a win over Murrayfield this weekend.

A good outing against the three Six Nations teams, Scotland, Wales and Ireland would help boost their chances of a good seeding while avoiding a slip-up against Spain in their third match.

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 last time this happened was back in 2016 when Fiji sat at 10th place and Scotland sat at 11th, but it only lasted for three weeks.

Whilst Fiji has a chance to gain two places, Scotland on the other hand cannot climb up the ranks even if they secure a win over Fiji, and a defeat would see them fall to eighth place.

The Flying Fijians will play Scotland at 5.30am this Sunday.

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.
