“We had a good training week in Jersey,” he said. “It offered us a great opportunity to align as a squad after everyone returned from their franchises and clubs, so we’re really excited about the week ahead here in Scotland.”

The Scots are coming off a 57-17 victory against Fiji on Saturday, so they’ll have a brave heart going into the test, but Louw and his teammates seem ready for the Castle Lager Outgoing Tour.

“With all the experience in the group, it’s good to be on the field with all these legends.”

The players used Sunday and Monday to recover from their island training camp before beginning their on-field preparations for the encounter tomorrow (Tuesday).

The Springbok brains trust however have kept fans guessing and Rassie Erasmus is playing his cards close to his chest ahead of the showdown in Edinburgh.

While Rassie is optimistic that the Boks will finish the year on a positive note, especially after only losing two of their ten matches this season – both by one point – he knows that it would require a valiant effort from the team.

“We are under no illusions about the quality of the opposition we will face, and we have experienced first-hand how their home crowds lift them, much like our passionate supporters, so we know what it will take to be successful over there,” he said.

“Fortunately, we have a squad that believes in themselves and their abilities, and that will be vital as we enter these matches.”

Better start booking tables at your local for this Sunday, 10 November. The game starts at 18:10 SA time.
