Scotland has named its lineup for Saturday's Round 3 Nations Championship match against Fiji as the Scots look to build on last week's impressive victory over South Africa. Scotland enters the weekend with renewed confidence after defeating the top-ranked Springboks 42-28, moving into contention near the top of the Northern Hemisphere standings.

Fiji, meanwhile, is still awaiting the announcement of its official lineup. The Flying Fijians are searching for their first win of the tournament after losses to Wales and England, but they will take confidence from last year's 29-14 victory over Scotland, the most recent meeting between the nations.

Watch the match below or watch the match on RugbyPass TV.

Scotland's starting XV features experienced internationals Duhan van der Merwe, Darcy Graham, George Horne and Jonny Gray, while several veteran forwards, including Pierre Schoeman, Zander Fagerson and Scott Cummings, are available from the bench. Fiji's lineup features Frank Lomani and Isaiah Armstrong-Ravula.
