Grant Williams breaks with the ball during the Rugby World Cup France 2023 match between South Africa and Scotland at Stade Velodrome in Marseille, France.

When a massed Scottish defence bundled Damian de Allende into touch as the Boks pressed, the crowd erupted with cries of “Scotland! Scotland!”, players piling in from all quarters to get some of the off-pitch push and shove.
