The Fiji Water Flying Fijians are set to potentially host Scotland in a Test match scheduled for July 12, 2025, at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva. This possibility was officially confirmed by the Fiji Rugby Union, which stated that discussions are ongoing with both Rugby Australia and the Scottish Rugby Union regarding the match.

The statement from the Fiji Rugby Union indicated, “Our team is in discussion with Rugby Australia and Scotland Rugby Union for potential test matches with their men’s national team mid-year. We will make a formal announcement once the FRU solidifies and puts pen to paper to finalize an agreement.” In addition to the Scotland matchup, talks are also underway about a potential Test against the Australian Wallabies prior to the fixture.

This potential clash would mark Scotland’s return to Fiji for the first time since 2017, providing an exciting opportunity for fans and players alike. Previously, Scotland managed a decisive 57-17 victory over the Flying Fijians during the Autumn Nations Test Series held at Murrayfield last month. On the other hand, Fiji has celebrated victories over Scotland in the past, including a notable 51-26 win in 1998 and a narrow 27-22 victory in 2017, both on home soil in Suva.

These discussions come amid plans for a busy rugby year for Fiji in 2025, with the anticipation of hosting more Tests than in previous years. Additionally, continuing arrangements for a Test against France on November 15, 2025, at Stade de France in Paris are also in progress.

In light of these developments, rugby fans can look forward to an exciting competitive landscape as Fiji navigates its international matches in 2025. This indicates a positive trend for international rugby relations, fostering ties through shared passions and creating thrilling experiences for fans.

As the Flying Fijians prepare to host Scotland and potentially face other formidable opponents, it represents not only an opportunity for athletic competition but also a celebration of their rich rugby heritage. The excitement surrounding these events points to a hopeful future for Fiji rugby and its growing presence on the international stage.
