Springboks beat Scotland at Murrayfield

27 November 2004
South Africa's tour of the British Isles finished on an upbeat note as Jake White's experimental young side takes Scotland apart at Murrayfield, winning 10-45. Two of the Springbok tries came from the 21 year old wing Bryan Habana on his first international start.      Habana was voted for the second time Player of the Year at the annual SA Rugby Awards Banquet in Sandton following the 2007 World Cup victory of the Springbok team. In addition to that he was crowned the International Rugby Board's Player of the Year.  Jake White, however, was less fortunate. Despite the fact that the team had won the World Cup under his training, he lost his position as coach, presumably because he did not apply for the post. This happened though his current contract specified that his position would be discussed when his contract expired, which will be in December 2007.
