The Springboks head to the Stade de France on Friday 13 November for the biggest pool match of the first Nations Championship. The result could decide who goes to the Grand Final at Twickenham on 29 November.
The Boks beat France 32–17 there last November, and France have since lost lock Emmanuel Meafou to injury. But Paris is still the hardest place in world rugby to win, and France remember the 29–28 World Cup quarter-final in 2023.
