Scotland vs Springboks

Scots:
12. Sione Tuipulotu – Glasgow Warriors (28) CAPTAIN

Will his number ones consist of a traditional woollen tartan kilt or a floral one?

That's a good Scotland team. Could be interesting.

They’re so confident they dropped one of their South African wingers by the looks of things

5-0 for the Southern Hemisphere over the Northern boys so far this weekend. Can the Springboks make it a clean sweep?

sparky

Boks already ahead after 4 minutes. Mapimpi in. Terrible defence by Scotland.

sparky

Scott Cummings' YC upgraded to a 20 minute RC.

sparky

Finn Russell with a penalty. 3-5

Jet

Youd expect reds every game if thats the standard now.

sparky

Finn Russell with another penalty. 6-5.

Bitty, stop start game so far. Scotland hanging in there. South Africa looking a bit toothless. But a long way to go.

Brilliant vision and skill from Willie

So dumb from the Scottish halfback. SA haven't been great but have been so clinical when in the Scottish 22. If only we had Brown in the AB camp.

Red card was incredibly harsh. Imagine if we didn't have the 20 minute red, that would have been curtains for Scotland.

Steven Harris

@sparky still trying to get my head around how that’s a RC ..about as soft as they come

sparky

Boks well ahead at half time. 19-9. Three tries to none.

sparky

@Steven-Harris It was a borderline YC at worst IMHO. 20 minute Reds at Test level sadly are going to mean more Reds.

There is so much worry around the UK about making the game "safe" and the possibilities of future litigation.

sparky

Scotland the better team in the second half so far.

MiketheSnow

Scotland the better team in the second half so far.

But couldn’t score in a brothel

sparky

@MiketheSnow SA's goal line defence is strong to be fair.

MiketheSnow

Russell is a handbrake IMHO

Too showy

sparky

Another Scottish penalty.

Scotland 15 SA 19.
