South Africa coach Jake White will continue to explore his options ahead of the World Cup when the Springboks take on Connacht in a warm-up match tomorrow evening.

There will be no Schalk Burger on show at the Sportsground with Danie Rossouw and Wikus van Heerden joining captain Bob Skinstad in the backrow while free-scoring winger Bryan Habana is named only on the bench.

Fullback Percy Montgomery, who scored a South African test record of 35 points as the Springboks romped to a 105-13 win over Namibia last week, is rested along with secondrow Victor Matfield.

Ruan Pienaar will start at outhalf with Butch James moving to inside centre  in a makeshift backline.

Scotland coach Frank Hadden leads his side out against the Springboks for the second time on Saturday and insists his team have nothing to fear depsite two defeats to South Africa last summer.

"South Africa are second favourites to win the World Cup but our boys are in bullish mood and are determined to rectify the results of last summer," said Hadden. "I thought we stood off them a bit in the first Test, but not in the second.

"That match could have gone either way and that's exactly the approach we'll be taking into the game this weekend.

"I expect an uncompromising contest in which both sides will be determined to generate the sort of momentum you need going into the World Cup.

"We know exactly how the South Africans approach the game and it's very straightforward.

"They'll be trying to impose their physical presence on us, and we'll be trying to do the same, so I think it's an absolutely fantastic contest in store."
