Scotland welcome the world champion Springboks to Murrayfield on Sunday in their second Autumn Nations Series clash.

The match will kick-off at 4.10 pm GMT on Sunday and UK viewers can watch it on TNT Sports. The channel has all 21 Autumn Internationals and fans can watch by signing up for a month-long pass for £30.99 here.

Plethora of good rugby

TNT, formerly BT Sport, is owned by US brand Discovery+ and secured the rights to all Autumn Nations Series games for the first time this year. It will show Ireland versus New Zealand, England versus Australia and France versus Japan on Saturday followed by the Scotland versus South Africa game on Sunday.

Fans in South Africa can watch the match on SuperSport at 6.10 pm SAST. The match will kick-off after Wales takes on Fiji in Cardiff on Sunday.

Scotland will provide a tough test for the world champions after a comprehensive 57-17 victory over Fiji in the opening match last weekend.

Rassie Erasmus’ South Africa last played back in September when they defeated Argentina 48-7 in the final Rugby Championship game.

The two now meet in Edinburgh on November 10 and it is all set to be a bruising encounter of two heavyweight sides. Scotland will be hoping to avenge their 18-3 Rugby World Cup defeat to the eventual winners on home soil.

Chasing the win

Scotland fans have to go all the way back to 2010 to find their last win against the world champions which took place at Murrayfield that autumn.

Gregor Townsend will be silently confident about his team’s chances on the back of that massive win over Fiji. On the other hand, Erasmus is eager to continue his team’s winning ways with a clean sweep the target for his side on their tour of the northern hemisphere.
