# Rugby: The final score of 42 – 28 in favour of South Africa against a feisty Scottish team in their Nations Championships clash at Loftus in Pretoria last night may have flattered them, but poor defence almost cost them the match. The half-time score was 14- all. Scrum-half Ambrose Papier, who made a return to the national team after an eight year absence, scored the Boks opening try. In the end, South Africa outscored Scotland by six tries to four. Handré Pollard converted all six tries and was named Man of the Match.
