Scotland thrashed Fiji 59-15 at Hive Stadium in the first women’s international between the two nations.
Bryan Easson’s side scored nine tries in Edinburgh as Scotland warmed up for the defence of their WXV 2 title in style.
An early penalty try and scores from Lisa Thomson, Chloe Rollie and Lana Skeldon, as well as three Meryl Smith conversions, gave Scotland a 28-10 interval lead.
Scotland continued to dominate after the break as captain Rachel Malcolm, Francesca McGhie, Lucia Scott, Rhona Lloyd and Thomson again crossed.
Smith added three more conversions for a personal 12-point haul as Adita Milinia, Sulita Waisega and Vika Matarugu scored tries for Fiji.

I think we need to get innovative with the new laws.
Now red cards are only 20 minutes, Razor should send Finau on a head hunting mission to hospitalise their 10 with a shoulder to the chops.
Give the conspiracy theorists a win.
Go to commentsEngland played well enough to win but couldnt score when they needed to and couldnt defend a couple of X-Factor moments from Telea which was ultimately the difference. They needed to hold the ball more and make the AB's make more tackles. Territorially they were good for the first 60. Defending their lead and playing pragmatic rugby in the last 20 was silly. The AB's always had the potential to come back. England still have a long way to go, definite progress would have been shown had they won but it seems they are still stuck where they were shortly after the six nations and their tour to NZ
