Rugby International matches: South Africa will need to dig deep today to avoid an embarrassing defeat against a Scotland side who are confident of winning the second Test at Ellis Park.
The Springboks got out of jail in the first Test last week when they edged the visitors 29-25, but were still slated for a "horrific performance".
The country is demanding a much-improved performance at their field of dreams today to secure the series whitewash over the Scots - who in previous years might have been considered canon fodder when touring South Africa.
France hope to resolve their World Cup outhalf concerns and some uncertainties in the forwards when they meet Argentina in the first Test today.
France have turned to Toulouse outhalf Yann Delaigue whose last Test appearance was against Italy nearly six years ago.
The crowd at the Velez Sarsfield Stadium in Buenos Aires, noted for their passionate support of the Pumas, will be less concerned about names and more about cheering their team to a second consecutive Test victory over the French.
Jonathan Davies does not think Wales should be playing Australia today.
According to the former captain, the Six Nations cellar dwellers are about to suffer yet another Test embarrassment. And Davies believes if the Welsh lose by only 25 to 30 points, it will be a plus.
