France vs Springboks

[sparky]

@reprobate I didn't say it wasn't weakened. It just wasn't the "C" team, as some people claimed.

Aside from the cutting and pasting of what’s his name the rest is pure MN5

So we're going to see your post again in a couple of days?

I agree with the above, French depth is scary.

Still think France are the best side in the world, the fact Lucy would walk into any test side in the world and is only third choice in France continues to blow my mind.

Looking forward to this one, hope France are up for it, bit of a revenge mission.

Yep, France at home should be the best team in the world, I fully expect them to win given that. Should be a helluva game. SA now focusing on attack and leaking tries makes for an interesting contest

French hooker looks more like Malcolm Marx than Malcolm Marx does

What a try

[ExiledHalfback]

My word. That's outrageous.

This full strength French side might be able to belt this Bok side.

Even without DuPont. French playing like the ABs used to.

Their wingers and fullback are outrageous.

The way the French hit that last ruck. Talk about ferocious.

[JayCee]

Nice delay tactics there from SA, using the HIA to get a breather, and switch the replacement at the last minute

[ExiledHalfback]

Both these teams are a few streets ahead of the ABs

Just as long as we are up there with them come the WC.

I actually think the ABs are building nicely.

Some of these players are so slick

France will be incredibly tough to beat in 27.

Also missing Mauvaka, Atonio, Cros, Alldritt, Dupont & Jalibert tonight.

Crazy isn't it. The Top 14 is the best domestic competition in the world by a distance.

[hikastags]

Not to mention most of their B/C team players have done a tour vs a pretty much full strength NZ. They're very well prepped.

Every team needs to find a way to compete with the Bok scrum. It's such a huge advantage for them and they seem to have a number of props who are capable of dominating. Amazing depth.

I find that hard to believe when Nonu’s playing in it and someone like Pita Ahki who didn’t do anything in New Zealand was a dominant force.

Up there as one of the best comps in the world but let’s not get carried away.

Best crowds though.
