The Fiji Water Flying Fijians experienced a significant setback, falling to 10th place in the World Rugby men’s rankings following a harsh 57-17 loss to Scotland at Murrayfield over the weekend. This defeat marked the largest margin of loss in Fiji’s history against Scotland, with Scottish winger Darcy Graham making a remarkable return to form by scoring four tries.

Scotland’s victory earned them 0.58 ranking points, elevating them to seventh place, while Fiji’s loss resulted in a points deduction that pushed them below Australia. The Flying Fijians are now set to regroup as they prepare to face Wales at the Millennium Stadium on Monday at 1:40 am. Fans are hopeful that the team will display a much-improved performance as they look to recover and reestablish their position in international rugby.

Despite this challenging loss, the Flying Fijians have a chance to bounce back against a strong opponent, which could serve as a turning point in their season. The resilience and spirit of the team, supported by their passionate fanbase, could fuel a competitive showing in the upcoming match against Wales.
