A stunning first-half display from fullback Willie le Roux helped South Africa to a comfortable 28-0 victory over Scotland at Murrayfield on Sunday. The Scots looked to have fought back from Willem Albertss early try and were attempting to gain a foothold in the match when le Roux, playing just his 11th test, scored an opportunist try. He then brilliantly set up JP Pietersen for another in a three-minute period that effectively sealed the match before halftime. Scotland suffered from a misfiring lineout, losing five throws in the first 40 minutes, while the Springboks, who had veteran lock Bakkies Botha playing his first test since the 2011 World Cup, allowed their backline to flourish on the back of a strong forward effort.
