World champions South Africa grind out a gutsy win over spirited Scotland at Murrayfield in the Autumn Nations Series

Centers Jones and captain Sione Tuipulotu, fullback Tom Jordan and Russell conjured brilliant attacks that tore apart the South Africans and brought Murrayfield to its feet. But they couldn’t complete the last pass.

It was by no means pretty, but if there's one positive the Springboks can take from their 32-15 win against Scotland in Edinburgh at the weekend, it's the fact that the struggle in their first match of the Outgoing Tour will no doubt serve as motivation as they prepare for the big one against desperate England.

South Africa second row Eben Etzebeth said the 17-point win over Scotland flattered his side. So why did their win feel so inevitable?

Wing Makazole Mapimpi has scored a brace of tries as error-strewn South Africa defeated Scotland 32-15 in their Murrayfield Test with the help of forward power in a scrappy win.
