Botha replaces the young Etzebeth who leaves the pitch and doesn't look comfortable

Fokken mooi manne

Both sides look to implement an ariel attack with a series of up and unders. So far SA are winning the battle of the kickers.

This monstrous Springbok truly is frighteningly large!

Curse of the commentator! Just as I say it, Louw prevents quick ball and gives Parra his first shot at goal. But once again the pitch lets us down as the scrum half slips and scuffs his kick at goal.

France on the attack outside the SA attack but the Springbok defense is holding out..... for the moment

Unfortunately a poor surface is having a negative impact with reset scrum after reset scrum

An early drives from SA hands the ball straight back for an attacking French scrum 25m from the Springbok line

SA win the first physical exchange, choking a french ball carrier to earn a turnover scrum

Brice Dulin puts up a poor up and under which catches his pack off side. Morne Steyn goes down the line with penalty but can't make touch. Parra attempts to clear his lines put the persistent Pietersen was in hot pursuit and charged down the scrum half and collected the bouncing ball to score the games first try.
