MAN OF THE MATCH

Lood de Jager is the man of the match. 

03 Oct 2015

A victory for the Boks, but not a very pretty one. They won't mind however. Can that type of gameplan win the World Cup... I don't think so.

FULL-TIME AT ST JAMES' PARK

Springboks 29 Scotland 16

03 Oct 2015

03 Oct 2015

SPRINGBOK SUBSTITUTION

56' - Du Plessis is relpaced by Strauss

03 Oct 2015

55' - The Springboks make a handling error while on attack as Habana knocks on. Their execution has not been quite there today.

03 Oct 2015

52' - YELLOW CARD to Laidlaw!

Cynical foul by Laidlaw as Habana hacks ahead and chases, the Scottish captain takes him down without the ball. 

03 Oct 2015

South Africa 20 Scotland 11

03 Oct 2015

47' - It doesn't matter however as the Scots gift the ball back to the Boks and the men in white storm into the Scottish 22m area looking for another try. 

03 Oct 2015

46' - And now Nigel Owens has decided that the Boks have taken too long to put the ball in the lineout. The noise around the stadium was immense and they clearly could not hear the lineout calls, in fact they indicated as much. 

03 Oct 2015

45' - Du Plessis is back on the field for the Boks. 

03 Oct 2015

45' - PENALTY slotted by Laidlaw!

Springboks 20 Scotland 6 

03 Oct 2015

44' - Scotland tried to initiate a maul but the Springboks dealt with it extremely effectively. Owens has pinged South Africa again for an infringement at the ruck. Laidlaw will kick at goal. 

03 Oct 2015

42' - The first penalty of the half goes to Scotland as Burger is penalised for not rolling way quickly enough. Weir will set up a lineout in the Bok 22m area. 

03 Oct 2015

40' - Weir gets the second half underway. The Springboks control and Pollard clears downfield. The Scots will have a lineout on the Springbok 10m line.

03 Oct 2015

38' - TRY to the Springboks!

The maul eventually goes to ground, Du Preez finds Pietersen with a brilliantly time pass as the winger comes on a flying run close to the collapsed maul and he forces his way over!

03 Oct 2015

37' - Another massive driving maul from the Boks they are 5m out from the Scots line...

03 Oct 2015

03 Oct 2015

35' - Scotland coming into the game more as the half wears on. 

03 Oct 2015

33' - Laidlaw will kick at goal from the resulting penalty. He got under that and is short with his effort.
