Knock on however and we'll go down the tunnel with the Boks holding a 13 point lead. Much more positive stuff from the visitors in the second quarter, after being blown out the water in the opening 25. Pyrgos looking dangerous at the break but the main point to note from that opening 40 is the smooth introduction of Pollard in the Boks 10 jersey. With Le Roux stepping at first receiver and his pack providing a powerful platform, Pollard couldn't have hoped for a better start to his international career. Carrying the ball to the line well and bringing the strong midfield pairing of Serfontein and Pietersen onto the ball. Big showing needed from Cotter's men in the second 40 if they are to produce an historic win in PE. Positive signs but Boks still look in control

Pyrgos with yet another half break and Scots up to SA 10

Ultimate Rugby Jun 6

Ball flung wide to Hogg but Maitland comes back on the hard line and gets his signals mixed up with the fullback. Penalty Boks which for some unknown reason Serfontein takes quickly. Ball kicked long and back with Scotland on halfway

Ultimate Rugby Jun 6

Gilchrist carries well and ball being recycled quickly for a change with Pyrgos sniping at every occasion. Boks slowing it down and Scotland awarded the penalty. Weir goes down the line and we have time for the LO with 10 seconds left on the clock. Tempo upped from the visitors.

Pollard takes it to the line but then Hougaard is scragged at the base. Turnover Scotland and play taken up to halfway courtesy of a Seymour half break.

Ultimate Rugby Jun 6

Maul comes on from the boks and its Coetzee in control at the base.

Ultimate Rugby Jun 6

Hogg with a good clearance up to Scottish 10m and with just over 2 minutes left on the clock, we'll have a Bok LO to restart

Ultimate Rugby Jun 6

Boost for the hosts who now need to get themselves to the hooter intact. Clean exit needed

Ultimate Rugby Jun 6

Another powerful scrum from the visitors who give away 50kg across the pack. Pyrgos with a dart off second phase and Vermeulen pinged for not rolling away, despite the look of bemusement on his rather large face. Weir for the posts from almost 50 out.

Ultimate Rugby Jun 6

Maitland involve himself well but second phase sees the ball flung wide rather aimlessly. Turnover boks but ball knocked on and Scottish scrum to restart. Real inaccuracy from the visitors, something which will undoubtedly grind the gears of Vern Cotter in the coaching box
