Too late to edit. Thought I'd paste the bit I was referencing earlier:
"There is a game before the game, though. The last time these sides met - 30-15 to the Boks at Murrayfield in 2021 - Scotland conceded five scrum penalties and 15 in total.
The referee then was Angus Gardner, who'll be in charge again on Sunday. Gardner refereed Scotland versus Italy this year and, again, gave 15 penalties against the Scots.
The Scotland management will have looked for 'clarification' from Gardner about his interpretations. The last thing they need is a referee with preconceived notions that Scotland are penalty-conceding machines."
