Scotland take on the world champion Springboks in a Test match at Murrayfield in Edinburgh on Sunday evening.
It promises to be a thrilling Test, the first after the teams' meeting at the World Cup in 2023.Scotland host the world champion Springboks in a Test match at Murrayfield in Edinburgh on Sunday, with kick-off at 6.10pm.
Some of the big-name players missing include Cheslin Kolbe, Kurt-Lee Arendse, Jesse Kriel and Damian de Allende, while Aphelele Fassi, one of the Boks’ finds of the season, is also absent. There are also a few men missing through injury, including Frans Malherbe and Damian Willemse.There are several new combinations, so it’s hardly a settled team, so it will be interesting to see how they perform against a Scotland who played together against Fiji last weekend.
Both Mostert, a real work horse, and Snyman, a powerful ball-carrier, are two-time World Cup winners, so should add plenty of oomph to the Bok side. Huw Jones and Sione Tuipulotu are a dangerous midfield pairing, while Finn Russell is regarded one of the best attacking No 10s in the game. And, let’s not forget former SA Varsity Cup star Duhan van der Merwe on the wing.‘Bomb Squad’
