Skinstad: Jones has been under-recognised as a player for a long, long time
Former South Africa captain Bob Skinstad thinks the Springboks will be wary of Huw Jones at Murrayfield on Sunday, saying the Scotland midfielder is “one of the best centres in the world”.
Talking to the BBC’s Scotland Rugby Podcast, Skinstad added: “It’s not often that you can say, ‘let’s pick 12 of the opposition players who can fit into a world champion team’. But I would look across the Scottish guys and say they’ve certainly got a good run at eight or 10 guys who could turn out for another international team, which is fantastic.
“That means you’re in the top five, top six in the world, just by sheer weight of numbers of quality players.”
