A little surprised Steyn is not in to replace Graham with Kinghorn at the back.

Never saw Jordan at 15 coming. With Graham out it looks like Jordan impressed enough last week to be shoehorned in at FB with Kinghorn moved to the wing. Ashman's a bit fortunate to be starting IMO after his ill discipline last weekend. Johnny Matthews should be in the 23.

Think it'll be the usual story of Boks forwards winning the battle up front and providing the platform for their backs.

7:1 is wild, hoping for a few injuries just for bants sake

Weird Bok team. We certainly have had success in the Erasmus era but sometimes I wonder..

It's a stronger team than the ones he picked in Argentina and Perth in the RC. Looks to me like Rassie has got his 2027 head on in this trip. Springboks by 10 this weekend.

Ja, not quite as far gone as those two but I would feel like it is an opportunity to get ahead well if I were Scotland. I think we overrate our depth just a tad in SA.

A lot of it is forced though because we actually are carrying a number of injuries.

If you are offering a 10 point win I would be up for it! I am not sure. I feel like we should be slight favorites but wouldn't be surprised if we trail at the 60 minute mark.

Scotland search for statement win against Springboks

A win over rugby's elite international sides has eluded Scotland for years. Can it come against South Africa at Murrayfield?

So, who had Scotland as the NH's only hope to avoid a SH whitewash this weekend?

Edit: Forgot that it was Japan they played so they're actually NH

 

[Saintjay]

Right Scotland don't be showing the northern hemisphere up.

We need to show the world why the NH aren't as good as we think we are but at least we are consistent.

 

[Reiser99]

That was a little bit too easy.

Edit: Flatman clearly reading the forum.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Oh they're showing we're consistent alright

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That's never a card, and if it is they've got the wrong guy

Definitely the wrong guy

 

[Reiser99]

Wow, didn't see a red coming.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Red?!

 

[JG-21]

Pollard got run over then looked like he got smashed in the head when getting back up.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

That's bonkers
