The Springboks scored three first-half tries, including two from Makazole Mapimpi, while Scotland faced setbacks, including a red card for Scott Cummings and a disallowed try for Ben White.

South Africa eventually extended their lead with a final try from Jasper Wiese, marking their ninth consecutive victory over Scotland. The match saw both teams struggle with errors, but South Africa's early clinical play set the tone for their victory.
