It will be a cracker as reigning Six Nations champions France host World Cup and Rugby Championship winners South Africa in this international Test on Saturday. Can Les Bleus leverage home advantage to edge the Springboks? Here is our prediction.
After sweeping aside Europe's best earlier in the year to secure their 19th European Championship title, France found themselves struggling in their three-test series against New Zealand in July. The Blues lost all three-Test against the All Blacks in the series, including a 29-19 defeat in the final Test.
Notably, Fabien Galthié's men head into this clash with an impressive 6-0-0 record in their last six home Tests. However, they struggled against South Africa in their overall matchups.
Rassie Erasmus' South Africa wouldn't have asked for a more successful rugby year in 2025 and will look to cap it off with a strong finish in the Autumn Internationals. After a successful Rugby Championship campaign, the Springboks opened their Autumn Internationals, thrashing Japan 61-7 earlier in the month.
The blowout win over Japan extended the four-time world champions' winning streak to four matches. They have also won five of their last six away Tests and six of their last seven matches against France.
