Springboks | Battle lines drawn at Murrayfield

EDINBURGH - South Africa are leaving nothing to chance against Scotland.

This is the message from captain Eben Etzebeth ahead of Sunday afternoon's Test match at Murrayfield.

The emergence of Glasgow Warriors, who defeated the Bulls in Pretoria to secure the United Rugby Championship title last season, is a clear warning that Scottish rugby is on the rise.

However, the major incentive for the Springboks to avoid defeat is that they would leapfrog Ireland to the top of the world rankings.
