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

Scott Cummings' YC upgraded to a 20 minute RC.

Finn Russell with a penalty. 3-5

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.

@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.

@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.

sparky

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

Russell is a handbrake IMHO

Too showy

sparky

Another Scottish penalty.

Scotland 15 SA 19.

Not sure taking the 3 now is the right option when SA is down to 14.

Xander Fagerson having a massive game for the Scots.
