Scotland will hope to build on a famous victory when they take on world champions South Africa in the Autumn Internationals this weekend.
The Scots' 15-13 victory over Australia sees them begin to look like 2022 Six Nations dark horses following another impressive victory in 2021.
Gregor Townsend's men have already toppled England, France and Australia among other teams this year, while they succumbed to narrow defeats against Ireland and Wales that could've been overturned with an extra try in each.
The tests don't get any easier for Scotland, however. South Africa cut an ominous figure as they arrive in Edinburgh for this showdown.
The Springboks came through a testing Rugby Championship series with Argentina, Australia and New Zealand with a record of three wins and three defeats after already defeating the British & Irish Lions in the summer.

Scotland v South Africa prediction
By Nigel Owens, former Rugby World Cup final referee
They've got some really big, big stars in that team, big game players. Scotland are able to compete now at the top table. I don't think any team would fancy going to Murrayfield now because Scotland will be capable of beating them. I fancy then to turn the Springboks over. They've got the ability up front to win those collisions and get some ball.
Yeah, I just think they may just sneak it at the weekend by a couple of points. If they beat South Africa, they will make some people sit up and look forward and take notice for the Six Nations. I think they've done that already. They were disappointing in the 2019 World Cup, they probably weren't as good as they should have been really, but now they've got a bit about them.
Prediction: Scotland win
