EXETER, England (Reuters) - Scotland will have to play "the game of their lives" and win the battle at the breakdown if they are to beat South Africa in a crunch Pool B match on Saturday, former Scotland and British and Irish Lions centre Scott Hastings said.

"They can win it, but they've got to play the game of their lives and eliminate the errors," Hastings, who won 65 caps for his country, told Reuters on Tuesday ahead of the Pool C game between Tonga and Namibia in Exeter.
