Scotland captain Sione Tuipulotu was

Ben Youngs says he has “never seen anything like it” after watching the Springbok scrum dismantle Ireland in Dublin on Saturday night. The Boks won six scrum penalties – including one that led to a penalty try – as they triumphed in Dublin for the first time since 2012. “Tell me a team or another
