Ireland vs New Zealand LIVE: Rugby result, final score and reaction from 2021 Autumn internationals

South Africa go two from two in their European tour, and will look to complete a clean sweep in November when they face England at Twickenham next weekend.

The Springboks will take some stopping.

Siya Kolisi: “Scotland were good today, it was a tight game as usual. I’m proud of my team for sticking together. I thought they had the edge in the first half but physicality was always the aim - and we did that in the second half.”

Player of the match Eben Etzebeth: “First half we were down but we stayed patient and kept to the structure. It was an awesome performance in the second half.

“England will be a massive challenge. We’ll celebrate tonight and then focus on England tomorrow.”

That was quite incredible from South Africa, even if we knew it was coming. As soon as Scotland had a sniff of an upset, the dialled up their physicality to dominate the set-piece and and wrestle back control of the contest, eventually taking it away from the hosts with a flurry of late penalties.

Scotland showed some encouraging glimpses but they will be frustrated that they couldn’t make the most of their opportunities, while their line out fell apart in the second half.

79 mins: The player of the match is awarded to Eben Etzebeth, who was key in disrupting Scotland’s line outs in the crucial phase of play in the second play.

And to make matters worse, South Africa force the knock-on. From the scrum South Africa win another penalty and Pollard brings up 30 points for the Springboks with a simple kick from under the posts.

75 mins: That’s a good result for South Africa, though, they’ve been dominant in the set-piece in this second half and they retain possession from their line out.

Steyn clears and forces Scotland back - before incredible South Africa pressure pushes Scotland deep inside their half as they tried to work the ball out from the back.

74 mins: South Africa hold Scotland on their halfway line - which forces Russell to kick for the corner. It’s a good kick and sets up a South Africa line out inside their 10-metre line.

South Africa have taken this match away from Scotland at the breakdown. This time it’s Marx who steals in to win the turnover and draw another penalty at halfway.

Steyn produces another stunning kick from range to extend South Africa’s lead to 12 points.

And when you make a mistake against the Springboks, they usually force another soon after. Kitshoff draws a penalty from the breakdown and this time Pollard makes no mistake, sending it through the posts to make it a two-score game ahead of the final 10 minutes.

66 mins: Hogg and Steyn exchange kicks from deep, before Koch concedes a penalty for an offside. Russell sends it into touch as Scotland return to the South Africa half.

But, again, South Africa strip the ball from a Scotland line out! Koch is involved again as South Africa disrupt another Scotland set-piece, and that releases the pressure just as Scotland looked to be in a good position.
