On the face of it, France’s clash with South Africa on Saturday night should be the game of the weekend. France squeezed beyond Australia in Paris last weekend thanks to a stunning Damien Penaud try with just five minutes of the game left, and they will hope to build on that result.
The scoreline read 30-29 in favour of Fabien Galthie’s side at full time. The World Cup hosts and favourites for next year’s tournament impressed hugely with their determination to pick up a positive result.
In contrast, South Africa are coming off the back of a 16-19 loss to Ireland. Failing to fire in Dublin, a late rally from the Springboks was not enough to change the result.
Franco Mostert and Kurt-Lee Arendse crossed the whitewash to give South African fans fresh hope with less than 15 minutes on the clock, but the World Cup winners suffered a poor day from the kicking tee. A penalty miss and two missed conversions by Damian Willemse and Cheslin Kolbe proved decisive.
This should be a clash to remember in Marseille. Each team boasts a talented forward pack and backlines filled with talent capable of stepping into any team in the world.
