New Zealand stand on the brink of yet another record
breaking year and have underlined their credentials as the side to beat in two
years time but South Africa have rapidly turned into a serious side under
Henyke Meyer and they look to be Scotland’s hardest test of the Autumn here.
Ranked second in the world behind New Zealand, South Africa
are one of just three sides to have tested New Zealand properly this year, with
arguably the performance of the year from a non All Black side when playing
them twice in the Rugby Championship – they only defeat in 11 tests this year.
Meyer’s early results – which included a win by 10 points
here last year – were criticised by a South African public tired of
conservative rugby but the electric work of the Springbok pack that has matched
any of their opponents this year has allowed them to lay down a platform for their
backs to land 42 tries and make more linebreaks than even New Zealand this
year. Scotland have improved too as a 3rd place in the 6 Nations
show, but South Africa should be well conditioned by their brual win against
Wales and have the physicality get on top of Scotland as well. Take an away win
by 11-20 points.
