What channel is Scotland v South Africa? TV, live stream and team news for Autumn Nations clash

Scotland continue their Autumn Nations Series when they host world champions South Africa at Murrayfield on Sunday.

It is the second of four matches Gregor Townsend’s side will play this month following on from the 57-17 win over Fiji last weekend with games against Portugal and Australia to come while it marks the start of a three-Test trip for South Africa which also includes matches against England and Wales.

The visitors arrive as the second ranked side in World Rugby behind Ireland, with Scotland in seventh place, one behind Argentina, who inflicted the Springboks only defeat in the recent Rugby Championship with a 29-28 victory in Santiago del Estero.

Scotland have not beaten South Africa since 2010 and have lost their last eight games in a row against them, with the most recent defeat coming at last year’s Rugby World Cup in Marseille.

Scotland v South Africa team news

Tom Jordan will make his first start for Scotland. The versatile New Zealand-born back, who made his debut as a replacement against Fiji last Saturday after qualifying on residency grounds, has been selected at full-back in place of his injured Glasgow colleague Kyle Rowe as one of four changes to the starting XV. Toulouse’s Blair Kinghorn, Toulon scrum-half Ben White and Bath stand-off Finn Russell – all of whom were unavailable last weekend as the match took place outside the international window – are the three others added to Gregor Townsend’s side. Townsend has opted for a 6-2 bench, with Dylan Richardson, Rory Sutherland, Elliot Millar-Mills, Max Williamson and Josh Bayliss the other forwards, and Jamie Dobie and Stafford McDowall the two backs.

Eben Etzebeth will captain South Africa with regular skipper Siya Kolisi starting on the bench. Locks Franco Mostert and RG Snyman return after long spells on the sidelines due to injury, while former Harlequins centre Andre Esterhuizen starts. Rassie Erasmus has gone for a 7-1 split on the bench in a squad featuring 12 of the 23 from the group that defeated Scotland at the World Cup 14 months ago.
