| JEREMY GUSCOTT ON SCOTLAND v FIJI Scotland coach Andy Robinson has really started to make his mark on this team and I'm excited by it. He has gone for power and size in the backs with the aim of getting over the gainline and to ensure they continue in possession he's picked John Barclay, who is an open-side flanker out of the same mould as Robinson himself. Barclay will be Scotland's key man against Fiji. He has to get to the breakdown and free the ball up, which will allow scrum-half Chris Cusiter to get it away quickly and wang it on to fly-half Phil Godman. The Scots have selected a battering ram of a backline and Godman will use the likes of inside centre Graeme Morrison, and Sean Lamont and Simon Danielli coming off their wings, to carry up the middle. You definitely look to play a more set-piece game against Fiji, rather than a looser style, so Scotland will play it quite close to the forwards. I don't think they'll be lacking ambition, I just think they'll be safe and will try and frustrate the Fijians by keeping it tight. But no matter what Scotland do, there are going to be moments in this game in which Fiji just cut them to pieces - it's inevitable given their running ability. Their confidence will be high - they were runners-up behind the Junior All Blacks in the Pacific Nations Cup this summer - and they will still be on a high from the 2007 World Cup. This side can play. They have a lovely flow to their game and from one to 15 they love passing and running - they are magnificent. They love to take on players, and sometimes go through players, and you always get excited when Fiji come to town. Watch Scotland v Fiji live on BBC One on Saturday.
