Scotland 10-45 South Africa: the Springboks have a flying start in a high-scoring first half at Murrayfield Jaque Fourie beats two Scotland defenders to score an outstanding corner try and put the Springboks into the lead Jaco van der Westhuyzen responds to Scotland scoring with the first of three drop goals, this time from a massive 45m Bryan Habana regains possession by intercepting a poor Scotland pass and scoring South Africa's third try A two-man advantage near the end of the first half results in a penalty try for the hosts, closing the gap to 15 points But Scotland's abundance of unforced errors make it easy for the Springboks to take a commanding 32-10 lead at half time After an uninspiring second half, man of the match, Jaco van der Westhuyzen, seals Scotland's fate with a final try Chris Paterson earns his 50th cap for Scotland but the team are left dejected, winning only one game in the autumn Tests
