Who was man of the match Springboks vs Scotland? SSouth Africa vs Scotland LIVE! Scotland suffered a demoralising start to their World Cup campaign as world champions South Africa squeezed the life out of them in Marseille. The Boks kicked off their defence of the Webb Ellis Cup with an 18-3 victory on Sunday evening after two tries from Pieter-Steph du Toit and Kurt-Lee Arendse in the third quarter took the game away from the Scots following a tightly-contested first half. The defeat leaves Gregor Townsend’s side with no margin for error in their remaining three matches against Tonga, Romania and Ireland if they are to qualify for the quarter-finals. The two sides went into the tournament in confident mood following encouraging summer campaigns which left the Boks ranked second and the Scots fifth in the world, but with Ireland – the top-ranked team – also in Pool B, the pressure was on both nations to start with a victory Springboks a deserved early lead. 25’ PENALTY – SOUTH AFRICA 6-0 SCOTLAND Libbok has a bit of an angle to deal with this time, but makes no mistake. 27’ PENALTY REVERSED Russell is down injured after a collision with Arendse – that will be looked at by the TMO. Russell doesn’t wrap Arendse as he makes the tackle and the penalty is reversed – but no cards, which will be a relief to the Scots. 30’ GRAHAM BREAKS THE LINE Scotland launch their most dangerous attack of the game as they go wide with Graham and the wing bursts through, but he can’t get a pass away as he’s brought down with Van der Merwe free to his outside! They’ve got to take those chances. 40’ PENALTY – SOUTH AFRICA 6-3 SCOTLAND Russell makes no mistake! Tremendous kick from distance to put Scotland back within 3 points. 48’ TRY! SOUTH AFRICA 11-3 SCOTLAND South Africa go through the phases and eventually the pressure pays off as Du Toit barges his way through a group of Scottish defenders to land the opening try of the match. Libbok fails to add the extras, though, so it’s an eight-point game. 51’ TRY! SOUTH AFRICA 18-3 SCOTLAND That is a SUPERB score from the Springboks! Libbok spots Arendse in space on the wing and pops a perfectly-weighted no-look cross-kick out for the wing to gather at full pace and dot down. De Klerk takes over kicking duties for the conversion and splits the posts. Suddenly it’s a very long way back for the Scots.
