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

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.

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

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.

Scotland the better team in the second half so far.

But couldn’t score in a brothel

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

Russell is a handbrake IMHO

Too showy

Another Scottish penalty.

Scotland 15 SA 19.

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

Shit decision

Xander Fagerson having a massive game for the Scots.

Just used up 2 mins of card

South Africa going for goal on a penalty. Eats up more time on the YC.

Knocks them two scores ahead as well. Over.

Scotland 15 SA 22

SA back to 15 men.

Scotland 15 SA 25 with 6 minutes to play.

Scotland will rue taking the penalty instead of the scrum

Looks like South Africa have scored a 4th try.

All over. Scotland 15 South Africa 32

Southern Hemisphere 6 this weekend, the Northern Hemisphere 0.

4 chances, 4 tries

That’s why they’re winners

Scots are such a bunch of wet wipes honestly

Scotland were aggressive at the breakdown but that's not going to be enough against the Boks.

Well controlled by SA in the end.

The Springboks will remain the Number 1 ranked team in the world.

Well deserved too. We aren't as good as them.

Double World Cup Winners, Rugby Championship champions, Number 1 in the world, 2-0 winners against the All Blacks this year, victors in their last two series against the Lions.

But they don't hold the Raeburn Shield, do they?

What is the raeburn shield? Serious question

Southern Hemisphere 6 this weekend, the Northern Hemisphere 0.

Also Chile beat Canada and Brazil beat Hong Kong both away. So 8-0!
Edit: Tonga let us down losing to Romania 25-15. so 8-1

Springboks didn't play well but the scrum killed the Scots.

Dunno what England will do if they struggle against the Wallaby scrum.

Expect a total different approach with the other backline against them.
