Scotland will attempt to secure their first-ever away victory over South Africa when they face the back-to-back world champions at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria on Saturday, July 11. The match, part of the Nations Championship, kicks off at 4:40pm BST and will be broadcast live and free on ITV1, with coverage starting at 4:20pm.
Scotland's recent form and historical context
Gregor Townsend's side enters the contest buoyed by an impressive seven-try victory over Argentina in Cordoba last weekend. That result lifted Scotland to fifth in the world rankings, equalling their best-ever position. South Africa, meanwhile, began their campaign with a dominant win over England in Johannesburg.
Scotland's last win over the Springboks came in 2010 at Murrayfield, where Dan Parks kicked them to a 21-17 victory. They have never won a Test match on South African soil.
Team news: Springboks make 10 changes
South Africa head coach Rassie Erasmus has made 10 changes to the starting XV, but the team remains formidable. The lineup includes Aphelele Fassi at full-back, Handre Pollard at fly-half, and captain Pieter-Steph du Toit at flanker. Scotland, captained by Sione Tuipulotu, names Finn Russell at fly-half and a back row featuring Matt Fagerson, Rory Darge, and Jack Dempsey.
How to watch: TV and streaming details
