Brilliant Fiji capitalised on a red card to wing Darcy Graham to beat Scotland 29-14 in Suva on Saturday, their first win over the tourists in eight years.
The Fijians scored four tries and dominated a lively contest in hot conditions, sealing victory with a penalty try late in the match when Graham was shown a second yellow card for deliberate offside.
It was only Fiji's third win over the Scots -- all having been achieved in Suva -- while Scotland have won the other eight tests between the two, including last November's 57-17 triumph in Edinburgh,
Scotland fielded a starting team featuring 14 changes from the side who opened their tour with a 29-26 defeat of the Maori All Blacks in Whangarei a week ago.
Fiji made just two changes from the team beaten 21-18 by Australia in the dying minutes in Newcastle.
Scotland scored a converted try early in each half but otherwise were forced into defence for long periods against a home side who mixed power and skill to good effect.
The Scots, who trailed 15-7 at half-time, missed 36 tackles and gave away 15 penalties.
They made a bright start, creating a try in the third minute for fullback Kyle Rowe.
Their grip on the game slipped when hooker Ewen Ashman was shown a yellow card for a professional foul and experienced flanker Jamie Ritchie was forced from the field with injury.
Fiji fly-half Caleb Muntz slotted a penalty and his team took command in the period before half-time after Graham had been sent to the sin-bin for an early tackle.
Captain Tevita Ikanivere gave his team the lead through a lineout drive try before winger Kalaveti Ravouvou capitalised on an overlap to cross in the right corner.
Scotland responded after the interval through a try by centre Tom Jordan.
But a brilliant solo try from winger Jiuta Wainiqolo, followed by the penalty try, when Graham raced off his own line too quickly to intercept a pass, took Fiji to victory.
Referee Ben O'Keeffe deemed the wing had prevented a probable Fijian try.
Scotland complete their three-match Pacific tour when they play Samoa in Auckland on Friday.
