A penny for the thoughts of Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend, who just hours after watching his ravaged team lose away in Fiji will have cast envious glances across the Coral Sea to Australia, where his big guns were putting on a show for the British and Irish Lions. Five of Townsend's top players started in the Lions' final warm-up match before facing the Wallabies next weekend. A further Scotland starter came off the bench to score a try as the tourists smashed up an Invitational XV 48-0. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Townsend has always been supportive of his Scottish contingent on Lions duty, but after the sore 29-14 defeat in Suva on Saturday morning, oh how the Scotland boss would have wanted the services of Sione Tuipulotu, Huw Jones, Duhan van der Merwe, Ben White, Pierre Schoeman and Scott Cummings. Finn Russell and Blair Kinghorn, the two Scots most likely to start against Australia in Brisbane next weekend, cooled their jets on the sidelines. Scotland's Huw Jones played well amid Lions' injury concerns over Garry Ringrose. | Getty Images A stark reminder of the array of Scottish riches wearing red not blue this summer was given in this lop-sided contest. Winger Van der Merwe scored a hat-trick of tries with a display of clinical finishing. Centre Tuipulotu played well and crossed the whitewash early in the second half, while scrum-half White was one of the best players on the pitch and was rewarded with a crafty try of his own. Prop Schoeman and centre Jones did not get among the points, but they played their part. Jones, in particular, was full of energy and breaking opposition lines in the 49 minutes he was on the pitch. With the news emerging that Garry Ringrose is a major doubt for the first Test due to a head knock sustained last Wednesday against the Brumbies, Jones' early withdrawal is a suggestion that he is in the box seat to replace the Irishman. Cummings came on a substitute and barrelled over not long after. As the clock struck 68 minutes, one wondered whether this would be a Scottish whitewash in terms of tryscorers, but an Andy Farrell team always has to have some Irish input. Step forward Ronan Kelleher as he crashed home right in the corner. Henry Pollock added a dose of red rose five minutes from time with his own opportunistic try. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Lions impress against meek opposition This was the Lions' most emphatic performance of the tour so far, although the limited nature of the combined Australian/New Zealand foe must be noted. They never looked like troubling the scoreboard all night. Nevertheless, several Scots have at least given Farrell some food for thought. Jones' case is obvious now that there is a major doubt hanging over Ringrose, although fellow centre Tuipulotu cannot be discounted either. He could play alongside Bundee Aki or even partner Jones if Farrell wants to keep the much-vaunted Huwipulotu pairing together. Van der Merwe's tour had been muted until this match, but this was a reminder of his proficiency when the tryline comes into view - although he did raise alarm bells in the first half when flirting with disaster by scooping the ball back into play on his own line. Duhan van der Merwe scored a hat-trick of tries. | Getty Images Schoeman maintained his steady level that he has set all tour, as did Cummings when he came on, but it was White - not an original call-up - who really excelled. It was not just his try, but his diligent work at the breakdown and clever kicking. He can spot a gap and provides clean ball to the rest of the backs. He could nudge out Alex Mitchell as the deputy to Jamison Gibson-Park next weekend.

Townsend wants Scotland to learn from ill-discipline against Fiji
The Scots went into the game with high hopes of easing themselves into world rugby's top six, an achievement which would give them a kinder group in Australia in 2027. However, they emerged from it having learned a harsh lesson as winger Darcy Graham was given a red card after picking up two of three yellows – the other went to hooker Ewan Ashman – to make positive starts to both halves largely irrelevant. Asked what lessons could be learned, Townsend said: 'Discipline, clearly. There were 14 penalties and three yellow cards and I would imagine most of them are in our control, so that's unusual for us to give away so many penalties and yellow cards. 'That fatigues us when we're a man down, but also gives the opposition opportunities in our 22 and eventually those opportunities told for Fiji and they got the tries.' Scotland got off to the perfect start when Graham sent full-back Kyle Rowe over with just four minutes gone and debutant Fergus Burke added the conversion. But first-half yellow cards for Ashman and Graham, who was adjudged to have tackled his man before the ball arrived, either side of a Caleb Muntz penalty for the hosts left the Scots fighting an uphill battle, and tries from Tevita Ikanivere and Kalaveti Ravouvou sent Fiji in at the break with a 15-7 lead. Tom Jordan crossed within four minutes of the restart and Burke's conversion made it a single-point game, but Jiuta Wainiqolo's touch-down and a penalty try, which also resulted in Graham's exit, proved decisive. Townsend said: 'I think Fiji deserved to win. They had a lot of opportunities to put us under pressure in our 22. They were physical and obviously they're a quality team, and they showed that last week. 'But we're disappointed in our own performance, that we gave them so many opportunities to put pressure on us. The penalty count was too high, three yellow cards, it makes it very tough to win any Test match. Up against a quality side at home, it's going to be really difficult.' Townsend was able to take positives from some aspects of his side's play, but admitted their failure to build upon good starts to both halves had proved costly. Special memories unfolding as Fergus earns his first Scotland Cap 🏴💙#AsOne — Scottish Rugby (@Scotlandteam) July 12, 2025 He said: 'We felt up front with our scrum and our maul, that was creating go forward. Maybe we could have got more penalties out of it, because we were certainly the dominant team on scrum and maul. 'Outside of that, our defence at times looked really in control. Some very good tackles going in, a lot of effort, and then we just had an offside penalty, a breakdown penalty, and then the three yellow cards in our own 22. 'They have a big effect on what you can do in the next 10 minutes, because you're having to change things around line-out and personnel.'
