Scotland lose Jordan and Ritchie to injury
Jordan played the entire match despite sustaining a fractured hand during the 29-14 defeat in Suva, while former captain Ritchie hurt his foot and was replaced after 21 minutes.
Confirmation of their unavailability came after the call-up of three Scottish players as injury cover for the British and Irish Lions.
Rory Sutherland, Ewan Ashman and Darcy Graham will bolster the squad for the Lions' match against the First Nations-Pasifika team on July 22 in Melbourne.
That comes between the first and second tests against Australia and allows Lions coach Andy Farrell to rest all the players who will be involved in the test.
Winger Graham joined up with the Lions on Monday, two days after he received two yellow cards and left Scotland a man down for the last part of their loss to Fiji.
Loosehead prop Sutherland, who played in two tests in the last Lions tour in South Africa, and hooker Ewan Ashman will stay with the Scottish camp until after their test against Samoa, which is being played in Auckland, New Zealand.

Tense exchanges made Lord's test more exciting, says Gill
LONDON :Heated exchanges between England and India players made the Lord's test more exciting and challenging, India captain Shubman Gill said after England took a 2-1 lead in the series with a dramatic 22-run win on Monday. Tension flared between the teams during the intense third test, with Gill sarcastically clapping England batters for unnecessary delays, and India fast bowler Mohammed Siraj roaring in the face of England opener Ben Duckett after taking his wicket. Siraj was fined 15 per cent of his match fee for his aggressive behaviour. "You're giving everything, mentally, physically. There would be times when there would be a little bit of heat from both sides. But I think that's what makes it so exciting, more challenging," Gill told a news conference. "At the end of the day, there's a lot of admiration within the two teams. Both the teams try their best to win." Gill said staying calm under pressure would be crucial going forward in the five-match series. "The longer the match goes, shows how well both the teams are balanced. It's just a matter of which team keeps their calm and composure longer," he said. The fourth test in Manchester starts on July 23.
