In a closely contested match at Murrayfield, South Africa managed to pull off a 32-15 victory against Scotland despite a barrage of handling errors. Wing Makazole Mapimpi scored two of their four tries, leading the Springboks to a less-than-perfect win.
With numerous changes to their lineup, South Africa's disjointed play and 21 handling errors stunted their usual momentum. However, they compensated with forward power that proved decisive in their Autumn International match.
Scotland faced their ninth consecutive defeat to South Africa, with all their points coming from Finn Russell's accurate kicking. Despite areas to be satisfied with, they failed to capitalize on key opportunities. The Springboks now look ahead to their upcoming match against England, while Scotland prepares to face Portugal.
