Lively lock Leone Nakarawa can make mark at Murratfield
Flying Fijians have the quality to test Scotland in all areas
Autumn international
BBC1 & BT Sport 2, 2.30pm Saturday
After defeat to Wales last week Scotland face a tricky test against a supremely talented but mercurial Fiji team.
The flying Fijians have played just one Test in 2018 - a home defeat to Tonga - and are always handicapped by a lack of time together.
But while they can struggle for cohesion, the star quality of players such as Semi Radradra and Vereniki Goneva in their backline often comes to the fore, and the same can be said of lock Leone Nakarawa, who looks a worthwhile tryscorer bet at 19-4.
Scotland have first-choice half-back pairing Greig Laidlaw and Finn Russell back in the line-up and are 14-point handicap favourites.
South Africa, beaten by England last week, are three-point favourites against France in Paris (Premier Sports 1, 7.45pm) while Italy are eight-point favourites against Georgia (FreeSports, 2pm).
