The Springboks are preparing for a highly anticipated clash against France on Friday, 13 November 2026, at the Stade de France in Paris. Head coach Rassie Erasmus is backing an experienced squad as South Africa looks to continue its strong performances on the European tour.
South Africa heads into the encounter following an impressive 66-7 victory over Italy, but Erasmus knows France will present a much tougher challenge.
The coach has made two changes to the matchday squad, with Wilco Louw moving into the starting front row and Cobus Reinach replacing Grant Williams among the substitutes. Captain Siya Kolisi will once again lead the team, while Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu and Damian de Allende remain key players in the backline.
France, led by the influential Antoine Dupont, will be looking to use its physicality, attacking ability and home-ground advantage to challenge the world champions.
The Springboks will need to remain disciplined, dominate the physical battle and take advantage of scoring opportunities if they hope to secure another important victory.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 22:10 South African time, with rugby supporters eagerly anticipating another exciting chapter in the rivalry between the two nations.
