Greig Laidlaw believes Scotland are chapping on the door of the world’s rugby elite after pushing South Africa close at Murrayfield on Saturday. The captain was left to curse missed opportunities as the Dark Blues were edged out 26-20.

@Bluewatchlivi tweeted: “Great day. Shame about the result. #SCOVRSA.”

@scoolm8 added: “#SCOVRSA Well done to The Springboks on their win at Murrayfield, and a Great Effort by The Scottish Lads, always playing with great pride in the Scotland Jersey. Great work by The Scottish Commentary Team too, very informative and genuine Rugby people.”

@Springboks said: “Jesse Kriel and Pieter-steph du Toit in the post-match press conference at Murrayfield. ‘Scotland is a dangerous side so we’re very satisfied with the win tonight,’ said Kriel.”
