Scotland coach Gregor Townsend is unconcerned about a high-scoring Nations Championship match against Fiji, provided Scotland emerges victorious. Townsend found positives in Scotland's 42-28 defeat to South Africa last weekend, highlighting the team's resilience despite lapses in focus. "When you're playing the best teams in the world... those small moments can cost you," Townsend noted.

Fiji has experienced mixed results in the championship, with a 39-24 loss to Wales and a 73-8 defeat against England. Townsend acknowledges Fiji's attacking prowess, stating, "They might not be the number one team in the world, but they're probably the most dangerous team in the world if you switch off."

Townsend has made 14 changes to the Scotland squad for the upcoming match at Murrayfield, emphasizing the need for constant concentration against Fiji's dynamic play.
