Fiji’s Autumn Nations Cup pool match against Scotland next Saturday has been cancelled due to 29 COVID-19 cases in the Flying Fijians squad.

The Flying Fijians matches against France and Italy were also called off because of the outbreak within the Flying Fijians squad.

This means Scotland is likely to top Pool B if they beat France at Murrayfield tomorrow.

Autumn Nations Cup organisers say postponing the match was unavoidable due to the 10-day isolation period for Fiji players.

Officials hope Fiji will be able to play the match against the fourth-place side in Pool A on the 5th of next month.

While the outcome of the cancellation has yet to be decided, both France and Italy were awarded 28-0 victories in the same circumstances.
