Matfield: Boks focused solely on beating Scots

SOUTH AFRICA hope that a turbulent week, which began with two players being sent home for failing drugs tests, will end with their Grand Slam mission three-quarters complete later today.

The 2007 world champions take on Scotland seeking a third victory on tour, with a clash against England at Twickenham to come.

Wing Bjorn Basson and hooker Chiliboy Ralepelle reported positive tests for a banned stimulant following the Ireland game, and were suspended and sent home on Monday. Basson was due to return home anyway because of an ankle injury, and he was joined by Bryan Habana, who suffered a broken hand in training on Tuesday.
