1pm, Saturday 13th November 2021

BT Murrayfield Stadium
Edinburgh

Ref: Angus Gardner (Aus)

Not sure what to expect from Scotland as injuries could put a bit of pressure on the pack selections. Skinner was good against Australia and our alternatives are recalling a recalcitrant R Gray, starting a very green Hodgson or asking for 60 minutes from Cummings off an injury. Whilst Ashman got plaudits for his try and grew into the game, he also made some basic errors that can't be made against T1 sides and losing Turner would leave us choosing between him and a relatively undercooked McInally. In the backs, Steyn will likely come into the starters after a decent cameo but some analysis will be needed on how to create line-breaks against a strong rush defensive centre pairing of De Allende - Am.

For South Africa, the team is likely the same 23 as vs Wales, only possible changes could be Nkosi has sorted out his passport issues and will be back in the mix, and Fassi might come in for Willemse who failed an HIA. As for Bok tactics, it is very simple and there is nothing sinister or mysterious about it. If you look at their complete arsenal of attack, it is mauls, exploiting penalty advantage, counter, grubber kicks in the 22 and kick pass. The biggest weakness of the Boks is their predictable phase attack, they don't offload, they don't pass much, they don't really run angles to expose weak shoulders and they don't change the point of contact.

Scotland
Schoeman - McInally - Z Fagerson (Bhatti - Ashman - Kebble)
Skinner - Gilchrist (Hodgson)
Haining - M Fagerson - Ritchie (Watson)

Price - Russell (G Horne - Hastings)
Scott - Harris
DVDM - Hogg - McClean (Kinghorn)

South Africa
Nche - Mbonambi - Nyakane (Kitsoff - Marx - Koch)
Etzebeth - Mostert (De Jager)
Kolisi - Vermeulen - Smith (Wiese)

Jantjies - Jantjies (Reiach - Pollard)
De Allende - Am
Mapimpi - Le Roux - Kriel (Steyn)

It came off the back of 4 Scottish errors. 3 of which were Finn who is not having a good game by any means

Well, we need to sort out the scrum PDQ.
Also we need to hold onto the ball for a little bit longer.

Well the first 30 mins were pretty dull to watch unless you like constant scrums and line-outs but the last 10 have been much more entertaining ...

No knock on, as he he knocked it back towards his own try line (and helped create the try)

We need to get rid of the Jantjies combination, they have been terrible. Willie also just not big enough or strong enough.

Boks are completely mindless on attack, no innovation at all.

Just turning the match on now. Looks like a good tight match. Saw replays of the two tries and that was some play. Did Jantjies, the Bok 9, touch the ball in the final buildup to the Scotland score?

Our game management is also very poor, how many kicks at goal did we shun in that first 15 minutes?

If the maul isn't working then do something different.

Nienaber has taken the bok rugby backwards.

We aren't scoring tries and his selections are shyte

Totally baffled by the front row changes. However, I can't remember ever seeing Ragnar lifted off his feet in a scrum.
South Africa love to flood the 13 channel in defence: it'll be interesting to see if Dancer's kicks make them hold back a little.
A very tense match. Maybe not one for the neutral but I'm loving it.

Great turnover at the lineout by the Boks. Though seems not a great idea to throw to the tail.

Absolutely mullered at the breakdown.

SA are just winning the collision and are getting the easy ride of it.

It’s partly impressive by SA but also woeful from Scotland
