The Springboks were made to work incredibly hard by a game Scotland, before a late surge powered by the "nuclear squad," saw them claim a 32-15 win at Murrayfield in Edinburgh last night.
It was an error-strewn performance from both teams, with both missing chances over the match, while the hosts kept themselves in the game through the boot of flyhalf Finn Russell, as they trailed by just four points going into the final 20 minutes, before the Boks pulled away.
The Boks enjoyed a great start as they earned an early penalty, set up a lineout in the Scottish 22m and attacked off it, with fly-half Handre Pollard sending a cross kick to Makazole Mapimpi to run in at the corner for a 5-0 lead after three minutes.
