It doesn't get any easier for Scotland, but it can't get much worse than last week's outing with the All Blacks when they host South Africa at Murrayfield on Saturday.
Scotland entered their opening November Test off a four-match unbeaten run and chasing a first win in 105 years over New Zealand, but fell well short in a 49-3 defeat.
The Scots will still be reeling from their humiliating loss six days ago, but have a chance to restore their battered reputation against a Springbok side that have had to deal with disruptions on and off the field.
Although Scotland are meeting the reigning world champions this weekend, the match does not have the same historical resonance as last week's Test as Scotland have beaten the Springboks four times in 20 attempts.
The last triumph came in November 2002 at Murrayfield (21-6) and while Scotland have lost 11 of 12 meetings with South Africa since the end of Apartheid, there is hope of success this weekend.
Injuries and suspensions in the Bok camp have boosted Scotland's chances slightly, after three South African players were sent home - Bryan Habana with a broken hand as well as Chilliboy Rallepele and Bjorn Basson because of a doping scare.
With two more hurdles to cross before South Africa's Grand Slam mission is accomplished, the mounting injuries and doping scandal are a worries the Boks can surely do without and just how much it has affected them will be seen in their performance on Saturday.
The Boks struggled even without the sideshows against Wales, and can count their lucky stars they remain unbeaten thus far on tour. Without taking anything away from a thrilling come-from-behind win, South Africa were poor compared to their opening victory against Ireland.
They also have a niggling reminder in the back of their heads of their last visit to Edinburgh, in 2008, when they had also beaten Wales the week before and then proceeded to come within a few inches of losing to the Scots - in the last movement of the game, lock Nathan Hines was brought to a halt agonisingly close to the try-line, and the Boks held on for a dogged 14-10 win.
One thing's for sure, the tourists have certainly had plenty of tackling practice over the last two weeks but the Edinburgh clash presents a chance for the Boks to follow New Zealand's lead and stretch their legs a wee bit.
South Africa's grunt up front has played a big part overseas, however with the likes of dangerman Gio Aplon and speed merchant Lwazi Mvovo waiting in the wings, perhaps it's time to put their try-scoring machines out wide to good use?
Scotland will be expecting another forward onslaught from their visitors, and a change of tactics by the men in green and gold - weather depending - could just catch the home side cold.
Or according to Bok forwards coach Gary Gold, maybe not. Whilst South African fans would like to see the ball given a bit more air, it seems they are set to stick with what has worked for them.
"We are looking for a big improvement this week, our third match on tour," he said.
"We are of the mindset that we must continue to do what we do well, only better. We have strengths that we must capitalise on."
"Firstly we have to play a game that suits our players, secondly we have to take into account the conditions and thirdly we have to consider the new interpretations of the laws. Combining all three to get the best plan for ourselves is what we are trying to do."
Whatever the Boks have planned for Saturday - conservative or expansive - Scotland have got to match what they throw at them or risk another humiliating loss on the trot.
Ones to watch:
For Scotland: Old head Nathan Hines will start at blindside flank for Scotland this weekend. The selection of Hines in a position which, although familiar to the British and Irish Lion, is not his preferred second row slot, suggests Scotland are ready to front up and take on the formidable Springboks pack in a tight contest - the opposite of the expansive game the All Blacks were able to exploit.
For South Africa: We can't look at anyone past debutant Lwazi Mvovo, who gets his chance to shine in the absence of Bryan Habana. Mvovo had an outstanding Currie Cup season with the Sharks and deserves his chance to show what he can do in the Springbok jersey - blink and you'll miss him!
Head to head: With Andy Robinson opting for a big Scotland pack in hope of combating the robust South Africans, the focus has to be on the forwards. The Bok scrum is in for a challenge, with British & Irish Lions tourists Euan Murray and Ross Ford supplying the necessary power to the Scottish pack. As a unit, South Africa boast the better tight five, but Hines' move to the side of the scrum obviously offers Scotland more line-out options to challenge the likes of Victor Matfield and Bakkies Botha. An accurate showing at the set-piece will decide who wins this one.
Recent results:
2008: South Africa won 14-10, Edinburgh
2007: South Africa won 27-3, Edinburgh

2002: Scotland won 21-6, Edinburgh
1999: South Africa won 46-29, Edinburgh
1998: South Africa won 35-10, Edinburgh
Prediction: The Scots can't get any worse than last week, but it's hard to bet against South Africa in the Scotland capital. Boks to win by ten points.
