Scotland are looking to bounce back from the heavy defeat by the All Blacks in the same way they did in 2010, by beating the Springboks.

South Africa roll on, despite some seemingly rusty wheels. Heyneke Meyer's side are hit hard by injuries and have a list of players back home that would walk into the Scottish team, but he will no doubt wish to see an improvement in his side's discipline. Their penalty count hurt his side early against Ireland, and almost let Scotland back in today.

Despite an undeniably hard start to the Autumn internationals, the result of back-to-back losses for Andy Robinson's side it that Scotland will be unseeded at the next World Cup - unable to break the top eight of the IRB rankings before the cut-off date.

Despite a spirited comeback that brought the Murrayfield crowd to their feet - Scotland were unable to convert good pressure into points. South Africa are making a habit of winning ugly, but may need more at Twickenham next week.

Scotland's form try-scorer knocks on under pressure with the try-line at his mercy. The winger has had little to do but that ranks as their best opportunity in five minutes of solid pressure.

Jackson, on for Laidlaw, goes to the air looking to chip over the rush defence. However much like his predecessor's efforts it is fielded comfortably by Kirchner.

Another early hit gives Scotland great possession, and charging into the 22 win another penalty for taking out Pyrgos. The referee again turns down calls for a yellow card, and Scotland again go to the corner.

Brown finds himself out wide and takes a Kirchner high - and chargeing forward, the big man is unable to find Visser, but Grant is a willing runner. The attack breaks down however, although with a little composure Scotland could have been in, as they look the more dangerous side.

Coetzee, on for Alberts, with a bruising tackle and turnover that wins a penalty and puts South Africa back into Scottish territory.

An error gives the ball right back to South Africa and they clear, but only as far as Hogg who runs the ball back to the 22m.

Early South African hit at the scrum. Scotland ball and Murray looks hungry.

Steenkamp makes way for van der Mewe and his first act will be to defend a Scotland line-out on his own 5m. The line-out is not straight, and Ford costs his side a great attacking platform.

Scotland lose momentum but win a penalty for offside. The home side have come alive since the Pyrgos try and the Springboks look rattled.

Pienaar sees his box kick charged down, then Lambie is also charged down. Scotland regain the ball and are flooding forward.

Kellock bumps a defender but the big man doesn't quite have the pace to make the line and Laidlaw opts for a cross-kick. It's a poor one and Kirchner takes it easily and clears his lines.

Hogg pushes his side into the opposition half with the penalty kick - and the Murrayfield crowd rises. Great running by Grant and Denton again edges Scotland to the 22.

Pyrgos goes on another darting run, but fellow try-scorer Strauss comes up with a turnover ripping the ball free before knocking on himself. The Scotland front-row respond to their half-back's play, winning a penalty at the scrum.

Scotland look to open up their game - Laidlaw throws a wide ball to Hogg, but the Springbok outside defence read it well.

A great moment for the young man in only his second test - and conversion means the home side keep that crucial two-score deficit.

TRY!!! Scotland respond straight away through new-boy Pyrgos. The young half-back picks out a gaping hole in the Springbok line-out to dart over from five metres.

Ruthless coaching by Robinson - Blair is given the hook immediately after his interception. Pyrgos on.
