Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus will name his team at 4 pm on Friday. The match kicks off at 6.10 pm on Sunday, 10 November.

Africa Melane speaks to Jan de Koning, Editor at Rugby365.

Listen below.

The Springboks will clash with Scotland at Murrayfield on Sunday, 3 November.

Kickoff is at 6.10 pm.

South Africa's head coach, Rassie Erasmus, delayed his team announcement for their first game of the November internationals.

In the past, the Springboks have shown their hand early, traditionally naming their team on Tuesday before a Test match.

However, that is not the case this week, as Rassie has opted to name his team today (Friday) at 4 pm.

However, several key positions are still in the air due to player injuries.

De Koning is expecting an 'intense and entertaining game'.

"Rassie has made it clear that he wants to win with a clean sweep. We'd expect the A-team to rock up on Sunday and give us another win."
- Jan de Koning, Editor - Rugby365
"I am confident that the team he [Rassie] will name this afternoon will be close to the team that probably would've played in the final... It will be the type of team featured in the final and we'll squeeze Scotland like we did in the World Cup last year... I expect us to win by about 10 points."
