Edinburgh prop D’Arcy Rae is in line to make his first Scotland start against Fiji on Saturday if Zander Fagerson has to pull out.

The experienced Glasgow tighthead, who was named in the number three jersey on Thursday, missed the team run at Murrayfield on Friday due to personal reasons and is considered a doubt for the opening autumn Test.

Rae, whose solitary cap came as a sub against Ireland in the 2019 Six Nations, was initially listed among the replacements for the visit of the Fijians but the 29-year-old will be promoted to starting duty if Fagerson is unable to play.

This is a banana skin for Scotland today. Missing foreign based club players. Fiji are Pacific Champs. Accuracy required otherwise Scotland will end up standing under their posts more often than anticipated.
