Fiji win

In brief

Rugby: First-five Ben Volavola kicked 17 points as 10th-ranked Fiji upset fifthranked Scotland 27-22 in a thrilling rugby test at the National Stadium yesterday. Volavola landed five penalties and converted one of Fiji’s two tries as the home side led throughout to hold out Scotland. Peceli Yato scored a first half try for Fiji after Volavola’s crosskick was claimed by Patrick Osborne, who beat one defender before handing off to Yato. Scotland replied with a try to hooker Ross Ford but Fiji took an 11-7 lead to halftime. Fiji will now take huge confidence into next month’s Pacific Nations Cup which also acts as a qualifying series for the 2019 Rugby World Cup.
