‘Super proud of the guys,’ says Boks skipper about fighting win against Scotland

By GhanaSummary NewsroomSouth Africa

Springbok utility forward Pieter-Steph du Toit credited the incredible Bok system for helping an inexperienced team beat Scotland 42-28, despite two strong fightbacks by the ors to South Africa, in their Nations Championship match at Loftus on Saturday.

The Boks twice took good leads in the match, going 14-0 up within the first 20 minutes, and were then up 35-14 after 65, but the Scots battled back twice, levelling the scores at 14-all before halftime, and were back in the fight at 35-28 by the 70th minute, before the hosts saw out the win.

In the match 23, 12 of the players had 10 caps or less, and that inexperience showed at times during the match, but in the end they walked away with a very positive win over a very good Scotland team.
