EDINBURGH – Scotland coach Gregor Townsend has made six changes to his side for Saturday’s international against South Africa at Murrayfield.
The Scots ran in eight tries during a 54-17 thrashing of Fiji last weekend.
But South Africa, edged out 12-11 by England at Twickenham in their tour opener and fresh from a 29-26 comeback win over France in Paris, are set to provide Scotland with a tougher test.
Sam Skinner, Scotland’s man-of-the-match against Fiji, has been switched to blindside flanker after making his Test debut at lock.
Jonny Gray and Ben Toolis return to form the second-row partnership, while Hamish Watson returns to the back row.
Vice-captain Stuart McInally starts at hooker, with London Irish prop Gordon Reid at loosehead prop.
The only change in the back division sees the return of try-scoring centre Huw Jones.
Bok coach Rassie Erasmus will name his team on Thursday.
The match will kick off at 7.20pm SA time at Murrayfield on Saturday.
