South Africa got the better of Scotland for a sixth straight Test after an absorbing match at Murrayfield.

The Springboks led 20-17 after a pulsating first half, Jesse Kriel crashing over early on and Handre Pollard adding a second try.

But Peter Horne finished off an epic Scotland move and Hamish Watson waltzed over after a clever line-out call.

After the break Willie Le Roux was sin-binned for a deliberate knock-on, but Scotland failed to take advantage.

South Africa’s power and breakdown nous allowed them to emerge from the 10 minutes a man down with their three-point lead intact as Pollard and Greig Laidlaw traded penalties.

In a bruising final quarter, Finn Russell put a long-range drop-goal just wide, before Elton Jantjies nailed a long-distance penalty to stretch the lead to six.

And the Springboks held out impressively to inflict Scotland’s first home defeat in a year, and the second of their autumn series.

Thumping occasion lives up to its billing

The masses descended on Murrayfield expecting a thumping occasion and that’s precisely what they got. Pre-match, there was an elaborate light show and pyrotechnics, but that was as nothing compared to some of the stuff that unfolded as soon as the first whistle sounded.

South Africa might be trying to evolve their game but at their core is a monstrous physicality and a gameplan to suffocate the life out of an opponent. That’s how they started – and it brought them points.

With the Springboks in his face and no other option but to kick it away, Russell’s clearance was gobbled up and the next time Scotland got their hands on the ball it was for the restart after Kriel’s try, a score that was sparked by a marvellous break by Pollard with Embrose Papier running support along with Steven Kitschoff, that most mobile of loose-head props.

Pollard converted and the Boks had their lead. For 15 minutes they had a dominance that quietened Murrayfield. That didn’t last long. Scotland’s capacity to strike from deep is a joy and the try that brought them level was another pearler in a long list of pearlers.

It started inside their own 10m line, a move that swept left to Huw Jones whose audacious pass to Sean Maitland brought the entire stadium to its feet. Away went Maitland, taking the tackle from Papier and offloading brilliantly to Jones whose timing on to the pass took him away Damian de Allende. The centre ran on and put Horne in, his midfield partner himself running a brilliant support line.

In a word, glorious.

The pity for Scotland is that they got turned over at the next ruck and when South Africa went wide the home team were stretched and Pollard had no trouble going over. The fly-half added a penalty soon after that made it 17-7 to the visitors. A time for Murrayfield to gulp hard.

Laidlaw, who kicked magnificently all day, put over a difficult penalty to calm the Scots, a precursor to a gallus score that brought them level. Stuart Hogg got them in the position to strike with a run and kick and chase that Willie Le Roux had to put into touch five metres from his own line.

From the line-out, deception galore. Scotland flung Ben Toolis in the air and Hamish Watson whipped round into the gap ahead of him, took the ball and drove over. The Springboks had been suckered.

Laidlaw’s conversion was good and it went 17-17, Pollard’s boot inching South Africa ahead again just before the break.

Springboks’ power proves enough

Scotland’s problems were obvious. At the breakdown, the Boks were nailing them. Their ball was too disrupted and too slow. That had to change. What looked like a major moment came early in the new half when Le Roux was binned for a deliberate knock-on, but South Africa came through that ten minute period well.

Laidlaw made it 20-20, but Pollard replied with another penalty. A 3-3 draw while Le Roux was off the pitch was not what Scotland were looking for. It might even have been worse. Pollard hit a post with another penalty and missed another one soon after.

Scotland had a chance to level it again, but instead of going for the posts on the hour-mark they went for touch and then got turned over on the floor. In the context of such a tight battle, it was a major call, especially when Jantjies, taking over form Pollard, boomed over a penalty from distance to give them a six-point cushion.

A try was now required for Scotland to pull it out of the fire. They had a chance, too. South Africa played precious little rugby in the second half, relying instead on the power game and their defence to get them through.

That Scotland chance came by way of an attacking line-out 10m from the South African line, but the visitors defended it thunderously, snaffled ball, cleared their lines and won an absorbing Test match.

England ran in three second-half tries to come from behind and beat an inspired Japan on a testing afternoon at Twickenham.

Japan had been in front 15-10 at half-time, a lead fully deserved after tries from Ryoto Nakamura and captain Michael Leitch capped some wonderfully inventive attacking rugby.

Eddie Jones had spoken of “emotionally smashing” the side he used to coach but an upset on par with the famous toppling of South Africa in Brighton at the 2015 World Cup seemed on the cards.

Only late in the game, after debut international tries for Mark Wilson and Joe Cokanasiga and two penalties from George Ford, did England take any sort of control.

The relief was obvious around Twickenham, the performance more a rescue mission than a statement of intent 10 months out from the World Cup.

Japan will host that tournament and their education from a series of games against the tier one nations continues to draw dividends.

Brilliant Japan stun England

Jones had made 11 changes from the side that had come so close to beating New Zealand a week ago, and two of those men combined early as debutant winger Cokanasiga counter-attacked down the left wing before Danny Care took Jamie George’s pass to race away for the opening try.

But Japan then enjoyed a fine spell of possession and territory, with Yu Tamura’s penalty small reward until Akihito Yamada picked off an intercept down the right and found men in support.

With Jamie George sin-binned after going off his feet in desperate defence, Nakamura burst on to Fumiaki Tanaka’s flat pass off a scrum 10 yards out and straight through Alex Lozowski, and Japan were ahead.

Better was to come for Jamie Joseph’s men. After Elliot Daly’s penalty from halfway had levelled it up at 10-10, Leitch battered through Care’s attempted tackle and stepped past last man Daly to dive over in the corner.

A sleepy Twickenham was stunned, with Japan playing with pace and invention, and England left leaden-footed in defence and predictable on their few attacks.

Leitch was almost in again down the right just before half-time, his side enjoying 69% possession and 77% territory, and England were fortunate to be just five points down at the interval.

Farrell helps spare England’s blushes

Jones threw on Sam Underhill and Ben Moon into his pack as England looked to find some answers and a semblance of control.

Kyle Sinckler was next on, for Harry Williams, as the minutes ticked by with no shift in the balance of power, and when England did threaten the Japanese line, they were penalised for holding on.

Only with 22 minutes to go did they take the lead, with Ford’s dummy pass opening a gap in the defensive line and his inside ball finding Wilson cantering through.

Ford’s conversion made it 20-15, and his penalty shortly afterwards opened a little daylight on a clear autumn afternoon.

Cokanasiga then sealed his debut in fine fashion after replacement Richard Wigglesworth had burst clear down the left, with Owen Farrell making a real impact off the bench in England’s midfield.

His fellow finisher Dylan Hartley came up with his second try of the autumn off a driving maul in the final few minutes as the Brave Blossoms finally wilted.

With a struggling Australia coming to Twickenham in seven days’ time, Jones will hope to make it three wins from four this month.

But his side will need to produce a full 80-minute performance after three matches so far where they have excelled only in spells.

Man of the match – Maro Itoje (England)

‘The finishers made a massive difference’ – what they said

England head coach Eddie Jones: “We wanted Japan to be at their best so we’re so pleased with that game; it’s the sort of game we needed.

“They had a few things go their way and got back into the game and it became an arm wrestle for a while.

“We had a team with 11 changes and there wasn’t a lot of cohesion, but Owen Farrell made a difference for our team because he’s an influential player.”

Japan head coach Jamie Joseph: “We gave sloppy penalties away and allowed England back in which was a little bit disappointing, but I’m proud of the players all the same.

“Comments in the media helped our motivation. Eddie Jones’ comments fired me up a bit but at the end of the day we still prepare how we prepare.

“Our mentality is slowly changing, we’re starting to believe that we can take these bigger teams on and that’s going to help us next year.”

England’s man of the match Maro Itoje: “Against any team in international rugby, we know the opposition will have quality and Japan had a lot of quality; they didn’t give up.

“Their breakdown game was very strong and they did well in that area in the first half.

“Eddie spoke at half-time with Dylan [Hartley] as well as George [Ford]. They spoke to the team to try to get us back on track. We just needed to up it. They were beating us round the corner and winning the one on ones.”

England fly-half George Ford: “It was obviously very disappointing in the first half; our attitude wasn’t quite there. That’s not good when you’re playing for England.

“The finishers made a massive difference. They’re there to come on and give energy to the game. They swung the game our way.

“It was disappointing that it had to come to that, but that’s what the squad is for.”

Hey, if you lost your bedazzled pigeon, he’s safe and sound at a bird sanctuary in Arizona. 

A young male pigeon, inexplicably dressed in a rhinestone-studded vest, was found in Glendale, Arizona on Nov. 10. He’s been under the care of Fallen Feathers ever since. 

“He’s very friendly and fits on your finger,” Fallen Feathers director Jody Kieran told AZ Central.

She posted a photo of the bird and his impossibly tiny get up on the sanctuary’s Facebook page on Sunday. 

“If you know the owner we have your friend here waiting,” the post says. 

A later post shows the little pigeon rocking his vest. Just putting it out there: This bird knows his angles. 

Just look at how fashionable this pigeon is!

If nobody claims him after a month, Kieran says the shelter will put him up for adoption. Although Fallen Feathers will do its best to “wild up” the bird so he can be released back into nature, Kieran believes this bird is accustomed to a certain well-dressed lifestyle. Apparently, he enjoys watching TV — particularly Westerns — with his human companions. 

“They’re really very tame and they’re actually really smart,” Kieran said. “This was a bird that was well loved.”

Scotland thumped 10-man Albania to go level on points with Israel at the top of Nations League Group C1.

Ryan Fraser and James Forrest scored their first goals for Scotland, while a Steven Fletcher penalty was his first goal for his country in over two years.

Albania’s chances were not helped by Mergim Mavraj’s red card after he headbutted Ryan Christie at 1-0.

A win over Israel on Tuesday at Hampden will see Scotland win the group and seize a play-off spot.

And, with that, they would be just two games away from Euro 2020 qualification should they not have already earned it through the qualifying groups which begin next year.

The win in Shkoder lifts the pressure off manager Alex McLeish after last month’s defeat in Israel.

Nine call-offs pre-match had left him struggling for options, but his young, energetic side impressed and could have won by more.

‘Scotland a joy to watch’

It was not a must-win in terms of Scotland’s chances of topping the group, but for confidence in McLeish’s reign a result and a performance was badly needed.

In an error-strewn opening from both sides, it was the visitors who looked the more dangerous. McLeish had set out his stall with an attacking line-up, and blue shirts swarmed over Albania’s backline, pressing high.

It paid off when Christie nicked possession on the edge of the box and touched the ball to Fraser, who dropped the shoulder and finished into the far corner on his right foot.

Christie was again in the thick of the action as the game took another turn towards the visitors. Albania captain Mavraj appeared to lurch his head towards the Celtic forward. Referee Vladislav Bezborodov, who was in the process of booking Mavraj for a foul on Forrest, got word in his earpiece and duly reached for the red card to reduce Albania to 10 men.

At times, Scotland were a joy to watch, a glimpse into the fearless young side McLeish is desperate to see on the big stage. Albania struggled to handle Fraser, Christie and Forrest, and Callum McGregor controlled the midfield.

Before the half-time whistle, Scotland were 2-0 ahead. Rey Manaj was adjudged to have handled a Stuart Armstrong free-kick. It was harsh, the ball was hit straight at him as he jumped in the wall.

Fletcher, making his first Scotland start in over two years, and in his first appearance in the dark blue in 13 months, stepped up and stroked the penalty past goalkeeper Etrit Berisha.

Any time Albania played a high line, Scotland pounced. Christie’s threaded ball allowed Forrest to put on the afterburners, and he added a third after the break.

It was night and day from the disappointing display in Haifa last month – and Scotland were still not done.

On his 25th appearance, Forrest had already scored his first goal. But his second showed what a top player the Celtic winger has now become; collecting Fraser’s pass, knocking the ball up with his right foot, and thumping in a volley with his left.

Scotland have done the first part of the job, and now a win over Israel at Hampden will complete the first assignment of winning their Nations League group ahead of the draw in two weeks for the Euro 2020 qualifying groups.

‘Fitting end to difficult year within grasp’

BBC Scotland’s Brian McLauchlin in Albania

As Forrest volleyed in Scotland’s fourth goal, the swirling noise of the bagpipes could be heard from the 2000 Tartan Army members who had made the lengthy and difficult trip to Shkoder in Northern Albania.

And after the huge disappointment of the Israel defeat no one can deny them the celebrations that will undoubtedly follow late into the night.

From the first minute until the last Scotland were simply outstanding.

With so many call-offs prior to the game the pressure was on but to a man they handled this with ease.

But the real heroes were Forrest and Fraser. Their pace was a constant threat the Albanians simply couldn’t cope with.

The real test will come on Tuesday at Hampden where we now know a win will be good enough for Scotland to progress to the next stage of the tournament.

And what a boost that would be at the end of what has been a difficult year for the national team and their manager.

Gritty continues to be the chaotic voice of resistance. 

The colorful Philadelphia Flyers mascot, also our collective son whom we love and cherish, was the face of an anti-Proud Boy protest on Saturday. 

About two dozen members of the misogynistic alt-right Proud Boys showed up for a “We the People” rally, according to the Daily Beast. They were met with hundreds of protestors who wielded Gritty signs like a crucifix against a vampire. 

The Proud Boys, a group cooked up by Vice co-founder Gavin McInnes, promote violence and preach masculinity above all else; the Southern Poverty Law Center calls the group an alt-right “fight club.” Although McInnes has attempted to distance the Proud Boys from white supremacist groups, its members have attended violent rallies like the one in Charlottesville. One of the group’s more notable rules includes not allowing its members to masturbate more than once a month. 

In response to the conservative rally, organizers pulled together a counter protest called the PushBack Campaign. 

“The residents and allies of Philadelphia must stand in opposition to this escalation of the far-right’s push into the city’s culture and politics,” the event’s description declares. 

And Gritty, who’s already been embraced by the left as an antifa hero, was beautifully represented by PushBack protestors. Let’s just take a moment to appreciate these heart-warming Gritty-inspired signs. 

“No white supremacy in our Gritty city!”

Ireland have beaten New Zealand on home soil for the first time with a frenzied 16-9 win at the Aviva Stadium.

Jacob Stockdale’s superb chip-and-gather try decided an absorbing contest between the top two sides in the world.

Johnny Sexton advanced his claims for the world player of the year award with the rest of Ireland’s points.

The Grand Slam champions added to their historic first win over the All Blacks in 2016 as they fired out a warning before next year’s Rugby World Cup.

Stockdale’s try pushed his side into a 10-point lead in the 49th minute and the home side produced an heroic defensive display led by man-of-the-match Peter O’Mahony in the closing minutes to repel the inevitable New Zealand fight back as ‘The Fields of Athenry’ rang through the Dublin night.

Stockdale swings it

A game of tiny margins was ultimately decided by a moment of brilliance by Stockdale which had Joe Schmidt’s imprint all over it.

Off a 10 metre line-out – Ireland’s favourite attacking platform – the home side swung the ball towards the right before Bundee Aki dramatically switched direction and fed Stockdale down the narrow side.

It left last season’s Six Nations player of the year facing a group of weary All Blacks who were still picking themselves up from the line-out.

The Ulster wing’s deft chip took them out of play and he won the sprint with Aaron Smith to re-gather and score the decisive try.

New Zealand indiscipline

The tone for a frenzied but absorbing contest was set from the off when the Irish team took a half-step towards the New Zealand haka and sent the crowd into overdrive.

The adrenaline coursed from the stands down onto the pitch where New Zealand set a bewildering tempo but a wonderful steal by Josh van der Flier and CJ Stander under their own posts helped Ireland to clear the danger.

The All Blacks were living dangerously without the ball and repeatedly were warned for offside by referee Wayne Barnes as a penalty count of 9-2 against the visitors told its own story.

Sexton and Beauden Barrett traded early scores but the home side were unquestionably on top with Jacob Stockdale and Garry Ringrose looking menacing with every possession.

Kearney denied

Sexton nudged Ireland back ahead before Beauden Barrett landed a wonderful drop-goal to keep his side in touch after Cian Healy had been held up over the line and Rob Kearney had knocked-on in the act of scoring at the other end.

Ireland dominated the second quarter after a superb gather-and-go by Stockdale brought them into the opposition half and they appeared determined not to leave without a try.

A cross kick to Stockdale did not succeed but New Zealand’s creaking defence continued to concede penalties and Kieran Read was warned about his team’s indiscipline as Sexton eventually settled for a penalty to give his side a 9-6 half-time lead.

O’Mahony and Sexton stand firm

Stockdale’s try was the score that Ireland had deserved for their first-half domination and – crucially – pushed them more than a converted try ahead.

But New Zealand are not the world’s number one side for no reason and the black jerseys began to gather momentum in the final quarter.

Reiko Ioane cut a dangerous figure with ball in hand and Kearney had to scamper back to gather Ardie Savea’s kick through.

Next it was O’Mahony’s turn to save the day as the Munster captain somehow managed to pivot and dive on Beauden Barrett’s grubber and minutes later he put his body on the line again to produce a brilliant turnover that lifted the siege and simultaneously forced him off the field with an injury.

Sexton conceded a penalty for a high tackle that allowed his opposite number to shrink the gap to seven points but the Ireland fly-half was fired up and he punched the air with a roar minutes later when he combined with Stockdale to bundle Ben Smith out of touch.

Sexton also departed before the end as the big hits continued to rain in but the Irish line held firm to clinch a momentous victory.

What they said:

Ireland’s man of the match Peter O’Mahony: “They’re not the number one team in the world for nothing. We probably had to play our best game of this term and thankfully we managed to do that.

“It’s a big piece of history and one that we wanted to tick off here in Ireland and now we have done it.”

Ireland captain Rory Best: “To stop New Zealand scoring a try shows what a fantastic effort it was. The boys are very tired in there but it’s amazing what a win like that can do to give you a little bit more energy.

“It’s a big result for us no matter what the context is. Yet again, we’ve raised the standard of what we expect. The problem is Joe and the team and going to expect that and more [from now on].”

Apple would probably rather skip the references to Bendgate. It’s not like anyone’s walking around with an iPad Pro in their pocket, right?

That may be true, but it’s still alarming to see just how fragile the newly released iPad Pro actually is. YouTuber JerryRigEverything put the tablet through a multi-part stress test, including the damning bend test, and he was left with a mangled wreck of an Apple device.

This is a great video to check out if you’re mulling a new tablet purchase. While, yes, the iPad Pro is hardly pocket-sized, it’s very easy to imagine things getting bendy if someone were to accidentally sit on one.

This is also a fun show if you’re a fan of watching pricey new technology get systematically, violently torn apart in the name of science.
