Seven selected to face Fiji

Stafford McDowall captains the side, which shows 14 changes from the win over South Africa, with Edinburgh contributing across the back three, front row, back-row and replacements.

Darcy Graham – the country’s leading men’s try scorer with 38 tries – starts on the right wing, while Duhan van der Merwe – the second-highest men’s try scorer in Scotland’s history with 35 – is named on the left wing.

Up front, D’arcy Rae starts at tighthead prop, while Freddy Douglas is handed a first Scotland start on the openside flank after making his debut against Portugal in 2024.

There’s further Edinburgh presence on the bench, with Pierre Schoeman (51 caps) offering experienced cover at prop, Magnus Bradbury (23 caps) providing back-row impact, and Liam McConnell — who debuted against USA in November — named among the forward replacements.
