Scotland won a hard-fought bonus-point victory against Fiji 33-17 at Murrayfield in Nations Championship round three. Gregor Townsend's side trailed 7-17 at halftime after Fiji's Tevita Ikanivere, Selestino Ravutaumada and Elia Canakaivata scored tries in a dominant first-half display.

The Scots were pedestrian in the opening 40 minutes, failing to capitalize on a Fijian sin-bin period. Everything changed when Townsend unleashed his bench. Pierre Schoeman and Jamie Dobie scored soon after entering, with Dobie adding a second try late on. Scott Cummings also crossed for the crucial bonus-point score as Scotland's replacements transformed the contest.

Fiji, destroyed by England a week earlier, played with menace and brilliance initially. Their blend of power, flair and discipline overwhelmed Scotland early. But the hosts' superior fitness and loaded bench proved decisive as Fiji faded. Townsend praised his team's defensive resilience and second-half dominance to finish the autumn campaign positively.
