Scotland score clever lineout move against the Springboks

Scotland flanker Hamish Watson scored arguably the cleverest set piece try of the year against South Africa at Murrayfield on Saturday afternoon.

The home side had a lineout on the Springbok five metre line and executed a wonderful move which saw a dummy jumper free up space for openside flanker Watson to score their second try of the game.

Scotland went on to lose the game 20-26 but the first two tries of the match were also well worth a mention.

South Africa scored the first try through Jesse Kriel who finished off a wonderful team try in the first five minutes, but fifteen minutes later Scotland responded with a 60-metre stunner.

Scottish centre Huw Jones produced two clever offloads in the build-up which saw Peter Horne score under the posts to level the points.
