The Scots went down 32-15 to the double world champions at Murrayfield after dominating long periods of the second half.
It is a strange scenario where a defeated coach hails a 17-point loss as “one of their best performances” in recent times and …
While the final scoreline gives the impression of a fairly comfortable outing for South Africa in their opening Autumn Nations Ser…
The Scottish had a massive game. They were very good. The Boks however... You could see the players was rusty that didn't play awhile, but the nuke squad have no excuses. They were terrible, but then, it's not the nuke squad, but starters in the Supersub roles. They failed in my opinion. If the Scottish played any other team tonight, they would have been victors.
I said the Boks will win by 15 and they won by 17, but that scoreline feels very inflated because the game was far closer than the final score. Well played Scotland and congrats champs. You did it again. 9 Wins in a row for the Boks against the Scots.
Grant Williams 🤌
Jaden Hendrikse has had a shocker tonight.
Scrappy.
Mapimpi, <25 meters, and a try line.
5 Points
What a kick
I don’t believe there is a more beautiful anthem sung in any sports stadium anywhere in the world. Gets you everytime…
It’s a pity we have to beat you now, Scotland.
15 and 10 for Boks lost there speed and ability
They have excellent young players
To replace them
The Boks will learn the hard way
How’s that bench. Ffs
7/1 split?
Haibo!
it was always clear that Hanekom wasn't going to get game time after only being in the squad for a week (or two? I forget), but its great that Moodie is finally back in favour.
My team prediction. A young bomb squad. Including Jordan Hendrikse and Hanekom off the bench.
Experienced 15. To nail down the first half.
Would Love to see a debut for Hanekom off the bench.
Can’t cover the backline (I guess) like Kwagga can. But he has the game of Kwagga and the size of Wiese. I’d give him a run. Come on!
In short, he is almost a carbon copy of Pierre Spies.
This is going to be a tough old match at Scottish gas stadium.
The boks will need to be sharp and well prepared. Can’t be complacent.
But then they can relax for their easy game against England.
Boks by 10.
