Scotland are searching for their first win against the Springboks in 33 years, having lost four times since 1969.

Home coach Ian McGeechan has named the same side that brushed Romania aside 37-10 last weekend but will be looking for a better performance against tougher opposition.

The visitors make sweeping changes after losing to France 30-10 and will be looking to repair damaged national pride.
