Scotland have been warned to expect a much tougher Test against the Fiji Water Flying Fijians on Saturday than when the two sides last met in November.
The Scots cruised to an eight-try 57-17 victory at Murrayfield eight months ago, as Fiji had fielded an under-strength side as the match fell outside the designated international window.
Scrum coach, Pieter de Villiers says the Flying Fijians will be a far more competitive opponent in Suva this weekend after running Australia close in a 21-18 defeat on Sunday.
De Villiers says he thinks Fiji are a good side currently and they probably have a stronger squad than when they played last time, just because they have got more players available to them.
He says playing Fiji at home it will be important to match the physicality that they are currently bringing to opposition.
Scotland are expected to select several more established players against Fiji after fielding a largely experimental team in their 29-26 victory over the Maori All Blacks in a non-cap international in Whangarei.
Fiji plays Scotland at 3pm Saturday at the HFC Bank Stadium, Suva.
Ticket prices are $150 for grandstand, $100 for the gold section, embankment adult concrete is $40 while children under 12 is $15, grass is $25 for adults and $15 for children under 12.
Tickets are now available from ticketmate.com.fj, Fiji Sports Council, Fiji Rugby Union, and at Grills Restaurant and Bar.
