Quarter-finals within reach but focus only on Fiji, says hooker Martin

- By Stuart Bathgate

ELIS MARTIN says Scotland are taking nothing for granted when they play Fiji today in Women’s World Cup Pool B ~ even though they beat the South Sea Islanders 59-15 less than a year ago.

The Scots could book their place in the quarterfinals with a pool game to spare if they win their match and Wales fail to get a big result against Canada.

And they will be hot favourites to deliver their side of the bargain at the Salford Community Stadium after hammering the Welsh 38-8 last week.

That result took Scotland up to sixth in the world rankings, while Fiji are 14th after losing 65-7 to Canada last week.
