He said: "It would be the biggest achievement Scottish rugby has ever had if we can pull it off.

"But it's going to take a tremendously improved performance in the blood and guts department.

"People I thought I knew well ran out for the second half against Australia but I failed to recognise them in the way they played.

"There was no fire in their bellies. They have to stand up and be counted and make sure that never happens again."

Dixon admitted he had never felt lower when Scotland capitulated with barely a whimper against the Aussies. And his head - along with that of the players - is on the chopping block today.

Dixon added: "We've been on the floor and it wasn't nice. We gifted them tries and I watched the life drain out of us.

"The defeat hurt more because I always thought you could never fault Scottish players for failing to give maximum effort.

"If the performance is as low again we won't deserve anything. But if we get everything right, I honestly believe we'll have an opportunity to win the game."

"And if we put them under pressure for long enough they will make mistakes.

"But the Springboks have improved as a result of defeat by the Lions and I have to give them credit for that."
