The double world champions delivered a dominant performance in Turin against Italy, building confidence ahead of their match against the French XV.
The Springboks delivered a power demonstration last Saturday in Turin. The South African team overwhelmed Italy with an emphatic score of 7-66, confirming their status as favorites in the Nations Cup.
This overwhelming victory came at just the right time for the reigning double world champions. Before facing the French team on Friday, November 13 at Saint-Denis, the South Africans were able to test their game and build their confidence. Every sector of play functioned, showing a complete and determined team.
On the Italian side, this defeat serves as a harsh reminder. Despite an encouraging start, the Azzurri couldn't contain the South African assault. The 59-point gap illustrates the current shortcomings of the transalpine selection against the major nations of world rugby.
For les Bleus, this match against South Africa promises to be a true test. France will need to show its best side to hope to compete with this confident team. Fabien Galthié's players will need to be ready to face a team that has demonstrated its ability to dominate any opponent.
The Saint-Denis rendezvous therefore promises a high-level confrontation between two nations aspiring to the top spots in the world rankings.
