In a fixture dating back to 1906, Scotland have only managed to beat South Africa five times in the last century or so and head into this Sunday's Murrayfield matchup as firm underdogs.

The Springboks have come out on top of the other 18 games and have won nine of their last 11 meetings, momentum suggesting they're en route for a 10th.

Date: Sunday, Nov. 17

Time: 3 p.m. local time (GMT)/10 a.m. ET

Venue: Murrayfield, Edinburgh

Viewing Info: BBC One (UK)
