Scotland hosted the Springboks at Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh at 16:30 SA Time. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1 & M-Net on TV in SA.

@ smallies72:88 – NO Dick would want us to run with it everytime. But he too is not a good coach. So not sure why we are now kicking everything. Who has instructed our players to play this out of date rubbish?
They need to have watched the Sharks and Lions play the CC. Or the AB’s and England play their games last week. We have fallen way, way behind.
First touch for Mvovo and a good driving run.
Hello all
Puma,
Are Boks going to win ? 🙄
@ Pam Anderson:
Very jolly funny 😆
Penalty Bokke…. levelling kick by Morné
12 / 12
@ Piet visagie:
mvovo has been solid on defence.
Perfect!!!
@puma i agree wee need tries but just remember that muir and piet are not realy the best coaches in the world and i bet the boks are playing on pure talent and pride out there lets take the win first and then go for nice looking rugby
Dankie tog,great kick.
@ Rugby_Princess:93 – Hello RP, At this point it does not look like we will.
Ruan & Alberts on, Hougie & Stegmann off
@ Rugby_Princess:
Hello sweetheart.Trust you are keeping well.All Blacks to slaughter the Irish later.
73: hey bitch, is blou nie jou gunsteling kleur nie ?
@ Puma:
But I am tired & need to go to bed cos I have brunch plans for tomorrow & want to look my best …
Gosh, who told Frans Steyn that a porno moustache looked good on him ? 😯
skop en skop en skop.die gameplan van die luiperds.
to all rugby-talkers remember it took onley 5 peneltys from percy to winn us the world cup in 2007and y peneltys and a dropgoal from joel to do it in 1995so yes we must always rely on a kicker
Penalty Scots, very kickable
n mens kan seker net lag.
Scotland 15 / 12
@ Piet visagie:
of huil…….
wel teminte is daar net 2 wp manne in die span anders sou ek skaam kry.
106: leer hulle smallies, leer hulle.
@ Piet visagie:
bwahahahahah!!!
111: as daar meer was, was ons nog verder agter. 😀
@piet visagie 111 as daar meer was sou dit nog kakker gegaan het veral as francois my oupa is jan pickard en daarom kan ek alle revs backchat sooos ek wil flou daar was
Net nie vir MS afhaal nie, as Lambie wil opbring, sit hom op heelagter.
Mooi, bring vir Ruan P op om die 5% bal wat ons kry ook weg te skop.
That is all we do just kick our ball away. We have Wales, Fiji and Samoa in our pool next year. We may not even make it past that if this is the type of game we gonna play.
Penalty Scots… could just as well have been Penalty Bokke
Ons gaan die fokken game verloor!
