For both sets of players the challenge is absolutely huge.

Fraser Brown
Glasgow and Scotland hooker on BBC Radio ScotlandThe scrum is the biggest area for me tonight. Scotland might look at how Japan dealt with the South Africa scrum in 2015 on their own ball.
Not run away from the confrontation, but try to get the ball in and out quickly and get the ball in play.
I've personally not had a lot of experience of [referee] Angus Gardner but watching him, he seems like a referee who goes with the team with power.

South Africa v Scotland (16:45)
It isn't just South Africa's fearsome starting forward pack that Scotland have to worry about today.
Rassie Erasmus' six replacement forwards are of a similar calibre and size, and will come off the bench at some point in the second half to up the ante further.
Scotland simply have to be in the contest at that point if they are to upset the odds here.

"Scotland have improved since we played in 2021. We expect a quick game from them."

Sir Ian McGeechan
Former Scotland and British and Irish Lions coach on ITVFinn Russell, with his kick-passing, is second to none.
He and Ben White will be looking to inject as much pace as possible.
