Scotland vs South Africa
Scotland will face South Africa in an international rugby union match at BT Murrayfield Stadium on 10 November, 2024. The match will be Scotland's third and final match of the 2024 Autumn Nations Series, following on from fixtures against Australia and Fiji.
Scotland have a good recent record against South Africa, having won two of their last three meetings. The most recent meeting between the two sides was in the 2023 Rugby World Cup, which South Africa won 30-15.
Scotland will be looking to avenge that defeat and secure a famous victory over the reigning world champions. South Africa will be a tough test, but Scotland have shown that they are capable of beating the best teams in the world.
Here are some of the key talking points ahead of the match:
* Scotland's recent form
Scotland have been in good form in recent months, winning four of their last five matches. They have beaten Argentina, Tonga, and Georgia, and their only defeat came against New Zealand.
* South Africa's recent form
South Africa have also been in good form, winning three of their last four matches. They beat Wales, Australia, and England, with their only defeat coming against Ireland.
* The head-to-head record
Scotland have won two of their last three meetings against South Africa, including a 20-15 victory in the 2021 Autumn Nations Series.
* The key players
Scotland will be looking to their key players to perform on the big stage. Finn Russell, Stuart Hogg, and Hamish Watson will all be crucial to Scotland's chances of victory.
South Africa will also be looking to their key players to make a difference. Eben Etzebeth, Siya Kolisi, and Faf de Klerk will all be key to South Africa's hopes of victory.
* The match prediction
This is a tough match to call, but I think Scotland have a good chance of victory. They are in good form and they have a good record against South Africa. I think Scotland will win by a narrow margin, 23-18.
Of course, anything can happen in a rugby match, so don't be surprised if South Africa come out on top. They are a world-class team and they will be determined to prove themselves against Scotland.
