He stressed that effective recovery and meticulous preparation are paramount for the team to be in optimal condition for what is anticipated to be another physically demanding Test match. Tuipulotu stated, "I think we just need to travel well. It’s been a lot of travel over the past couple of weeks. We need to rest well." The Scottish skipper anticipates a stern challenge from Fiji, emphasizing the need for his side to be prepared for another tough battle. "Next week will be another physical test," he remarked. The match against Fiji marks the conclusion of Scotland's Nations Championship campaign and is scheduled to take place early Sunday morning at Murrayfield.
