It's been another busy week across the rugby world, with Ian Foster, in particular, right in the spotlight.
Max Jorgensen has revealed how the despair of being ruled out of last year's Rugby World Cup was "100 percent" a major driver in his decision to recommit to the NSW Waratahs.
South Africa's double World Cup winning captain Siya Kolisi may not lead the side this year despite playing excellent rugby for French club Racing 92, coach Rassie Erasmus said on Tuesday.
Former Springbok lock Hannes Strydom has died in a car accident, South African Rugby confirmed on Monday, the fifth player from their victorious 1995 World Cup team to pass away.
Angus Bell and Taniela Tupou have lamented Australia's woeful World Cup campaign, pointing to injuries to key forwards and the non-selection of an "experienced 10" as the chief reasons behind a maiden pool-stage exit.
South Africa hooker Bongi Mbonambi has denied he used discriminatory language towards England flanker Tom Curry in their Rugby World Cup semifinal in October, labelling the allegations against him "unprofessional".
Here's what ESPN's man at the ground Tristan Barclay had to say:
"I feared the second half could turn into a rout but Scotland came out from the break ready to make a fight of it. They were rewarded early on with a try made by stand-off Duncan Weir, who intercepted a loose pass from opposite number Handre Pollard to run the length of the field and send Tommy Seymour over on the offload. The match then broke down slightly, with the kickers left to keep the scoreboard ticking over. Scotland skipper Greig Laidlaw was binned for a silly challenge on wing Bryan Habana, who had the last laugh as he crashed over for a late try. It wasn't a pretty end to the match for the Scots, but then it was always going to be a brutal afternoon against the mighty Springbok squad."
... South Africa are made to work hard to escape their 22, but Habana commits to another little chip and run down the left but it eventually finds its way into touch. Full time is given! IT's OVER!
