The Sunday kickoff will give Scotland an extra day to recover from their 57-17 victory over Fiji this past Saturday. But the Boks will now have one less day to prepare for their match against England next Saturday, before concluding their tour with a Test against Wales on Saturday, November 23. “We’re definitely where we want to be going to into the tour after having a chance to get on the same page and focus on the match against Scotland next week,” said Louw.
Louw, who has 14 caps under his belt, is back in the Springboks’ fold for the first time since 2021. He missed out on the last two World Cup wins because of the sheer quality of the Boks’ tightheads.
