Scotland v Springboks - Raeburn Shield Match

[Davesofthunder]

Couldn't see a match thread for this one so started one 😀(had to take Raeburn Shield opportunity too!)

Actually really looking forward to this. Scotland have genuinely been doing pretty well recently and we know the Springboks are strong.

Haven't yet got brave enough to make a prediction but leaning Springboks

Go the Scots, fuck the Boks.

Can’t see them beating two SH teams two weeks in a row, hopefully I’m wrong.

If Scotland can field their best 23 then it's theirs.

Scotland by 6-9

Springbok team was announced on Tuesday.

Some rotation, but basically the sames as we've seen the last couple of months. The big talking point is Jantjies coming in for Pollard. Rumours are that the Boks will be playing wider and more off ten than they have been this season.

6s and 9s?
I suspect Scotland will be at 6s and 7s.

Huge defence from Scotland

@mikethesnow

2 good pieces of play from Scotland in the lead up to the first points. Ironically by their SA boys. 🙄

[MiketheSnow]

Great turnover from Ritchie

Russell fluffs it

Sco 3-0 SA

@mikethesnow

Watson tends to get the headlines and praise but IMO Ritchie is the guy that holds it all together. More of an all court game than Watson I feel.

[MiketheSnow]

Ritchie penalised this time

Sco 3-3 SA
24 mins

[MiketheSnow]

That was rubbish from Russell

[Bones]

Yuuuck defence by the Scottish winger. Amateur hour.

Without wanting to push the issue... even Bridge could've got an outside break there ..

[MiketheSnow]

Scotland need to calm the fuck down

[Stargazer]

I love that unstructured play from Scotland. Awesome try.

[MiketheSnow]

Forward as fuck

Back for the pen
