Head to Head


South Africa have won their last eight matches against Scotland. When they met at the 2023 World Cup group stage, South Africa won 18-3.

Scotland Form


Scotland are a very good side, particularly at home. They had a good Six Nations despite a frustrating defeat to Italy.

In July, Scotland toured the Americas, beating Canada, USA, Chile and Uruguay with relative ease. Last week, the Scots were far too good for a weakened Fiji side, winning 57-17 at Murrayfield.

Scotland Injuries & Team News


Scotland have gone with their strongest side after giving some fringe players a run last weekend.

South Africa Form


South Africa are in great form despite their one defeat in Argentina towards the end of the Rugby Championship. They are now world champions and rugby championship winners.

The Springboks defeated Australia and New Zealand twice during the Rugby Championship and beat Argentina 48-7 in the final game on home soil.

South Africa Injuries & Team News


Rassie Erasmus has surprised many with his selection this weekend once again. Eben Etzebeth captains with Siya Kolisi on the bench. They have a 7-1 bench split.

Verdict

South Africa are tipped to cover the -8 handicap at Murrayfield.
