Scotland v South Africa: 'It's the ultimate test'
11/06/2024 02:12 PM
Jack Dempsey is keen to show how much Scotland have improved since their last meeting with world champions South Africa when they face the Springboks in the "ultimate test" at Murrayfield on Sunday.
Scotland posed few problems as South Africa ran out 18-3 winners in a World Cup pool game in Marseille in September last year.
The Springboks went on to be crowned world champions for the second successive tournament - and a record fourth time in total - but Scotland's loose forward Dempsey cannot wait for another crack at the Springboks.
Dempsey, who previously played Test rugby for his native Wallabies, has won 20 caps for Scotland since changing allegiance from Australia to make his debut for Gregor Townsend's team two years ago.
"Yeah, I've loved it," he said.
"Two years already, it feels a lot longer. There have been ups and downs like anything, but I've loved every second of it.
"I said at the time to get that second chance in the Test arena was a dream come true again."
