Everything you need to know as Scotland take on Fiji in the Rugby World Cup.
After a 38-8 win over Wales in the opening round, Scotland return to Salford Community Stadium, Manchester to take on Fiji tomorrow (kick off 2.45pm) - live on BBC Two.
What they said
Head Coach Bryan Easson said: “Fiji are a good side, we’ve watched them very closely and we’ve got to respect them like we respected Wales.
“They’ve obviously got that southern-hemisphere flair, threats all over the park, but they’ve also got a northern hemisphere coach there who’s brought a little more structure into their game.
“We’re certainly not in a situation where we’re happy with one performance, we believe we’ve got more performances in us. This is a team who want to improve week on week, that’s our mindset.”
