Springboks versus Scotland Nations Champs 2026

Scottie hits back.

Pollard gets rolled over and Scotland win a turnover . . . is that a late tackle on Fassi? No, penalty to Scotland. Why is that not being looked at?

Fassi gets taken out and then gives away a stupid penalty

Kyle Rowe is through and it will be 14-14 at the half.

Not sure if that's a fair reflection of the game so far. The Boks were probably worth their lead on the balance of play but Scotland have been good, especially in the last 10 minutes.

Absolute shambles and Scotland score again

14-14

The Boks looked rattled there

Uh oh!

Brilliant score by Rowe.

Boks struggling to find much momentum. A constant string of silly penalties and mistakes.

Scottie putting some serious velocity on the game at the end there and rhe Boks struggling to keep up.

Notably, Jasper isn't there and the pack doesn't look like half of what it was last week.

It's no coincidence.

Also, can we agree that Willemse is not a bloody 12!?

Bring Quan on already

Ref's checking a head contact incident. It's Ben-Jason Dixon and he'll be off here.

Yes, yellow card and I'm pretty sure that will become a red under review.

And now BJD makes head contact and it's a yellow...and it's with force so could be red.

Boks putting themself under yet more pressure

Looks like Pollard has been subbed and it's Grant Williams on. Who will go to flyhalf? Maybe DW with one of Williams or Papier moving to the wing?

Not sure if that's an injury or if Rassie had enough of Pollard's weak play in contact.

More penalties PSDT this time

How the fuck did Williams hold that up!?

Lovely bit of skill by the Boks there.

...Nortje has some gas for a giraffe

Yellow for Dixon remains a yellow.

Yellow stays a yellow...thank heavens

Pollard back on as Ethan Hooker goes for a HIA.

This ref is making some truly bullshit calls.

PSdT gets away with a tackle that looked high. Scotland pressing . . . very scrappy rugby. Boks escape with a scrum.

Scotland all over the Boks but there is a let off as the Scots knock it.

But the Boks can't keep the ball in this game because every time they have it for a minute they get penalised for something

Much-needed scrum penalty to the Boks who are under heavy pressure.

Boks escape with a penalty and Wian clears nicely.

Some momentum desperately required

Not a great kick from Williams but Fassi does well to win it in the air.

The Boks have barely had the damn ball and then we have it for few seconds and went kick it away and Fassi knocks it.

Braindead

Good scrum from the Boks but Scotland eventually clear. Another good take by Fassi and the Boks attack but Edwill's grubber finds touch.

Boks are at least dominating the scrums and win the turnover.

Scottie knock in the maul...a bit of luck for the Boks finally

This is a crucial scrum and I smell a free kick or some shit call coming

More like it from the Boks as they go through the phases . . . and Elrigh Louw is over. Good play.

Lekker Elrigh!

Boks should have gotten a penalty from that scrum but the ref called play on.

Polly slots the conversion

21-14

Pollard converts. Looks like he's back permanently meaning Ethan Hooker has failed his HIA.

Brilliant from DW. Great step and then a great stretch to score.

26-14.

Nd now Williams and Willemse combine to score a lovely try.

Great step by Willemse there

BJD making a steal now.

Thats both locks stealing today...

Are the rumours out to bed yet?

The Boks have turned things around. They win a penalty and kick for the corner.

Not the best throw but the Boks retain it and are very close . . . Porthen . . . Mchuni . . . still just short . . . Porthen is over!

Well deserved try. Boks dominant now.

Scottie coming apart a bit now.
