The Boks tackle Scotland at Murrayfield in Glasgow in game two of their three-match tour. Kick-off is at 17h00.
The big story has been the return to international rugby of test veteran Bakkies Botha at age 34.
Old timers Jaque Fourie and JP Pietersen both need stepped up performances.
Why is Gurthrö Steenkamp even in the Springbok team?
The main story during this game may however be Pat Lambie who desperately needs to set the record straight after a dismal performance against Wales.
Scotland definitely don’t look like a team the Boks want to write off. They have a few physical blokes in the pack. Amongst them Dave Denton who was educated at Kingswood College in Grahamstown.

@BOG: We are actually so far ahead of of you that the game will actually be played today here in CT, while Beet advocates that it will only be played in 2014 for the rest of you…
Were on earth is PSD or is he hurt.
Beet, I know that the Capies are use to delayed broadcasts, but you better tell them that the match is only at 17:00, on SUNDAY. Even their dailies, are a day late and the 7 O Clock news is read at 8.
