Scots shatter Boks' Grand Slam
South Africa's quest for a Grand Slam is over after Scotland defeated the world champions 21-17 on Saturday.
It was an amazing turnaround for the hosts who were thumped by New Zealand a week ago, but - against all odds - bounced back superbly to record a memorable victory and restore some pride.
The same couldn't be said of South Africa though, who would have targeted this encounter as the easiest of the four 'Home Nations'. However, Scotland proved that no Test match is easy as the woeful Boks found out... the hard way.

Scotland were without a win over South Africa since the 2002 Murrayfield meeting, but eight years on Parks demonstrated his unerring accuracy, kicking six penalties and a drop goal to punish the Springboks' indiscipline.
It was Scotland's fourth win in five Tests and just a second victory over South Africa in 13 post-Apartheid meetings.
