Scotland say they plan to win against Fiji tomorrow to celebrate hooker Ross Ford as he becomes the most‑capped Scotland player in history.
Ford will overtake the record held by former full‑back and all‑time top points’ scorer, Chris Paterson, when he makes his 110th appearance in Suva, some 13 years since his debut against Australia at Murrayfield.
But Coach Gregor Townsend says Fiji has improved a huge amount over the past few years and did very well to find a way to win against Italy last weekend.
He says they are excellent from unstructured play and have a number of very evasive players throughout their squad.
He says it should be a cracking Test match.
The Vodafone Flying Fijians will take on Scotland at 2.30pm tomorrow at the ANZ Stadium and you can catch the live commentary on Viti FM.
