Admirable effort from both teams so far, but not seeing anything that will have England quaking in their boots.

Never in a million years is that a red. As much as I want France to win, that wouldn’t be any sort of fair call.

Agreed. I think players need to look to tuck their head to a side. Many of the head on heads are defenders with heads up like a meerkat.

France are fucked if they don’t work out how to defend against the SA kicking.

The scrum thing was bizarre. Very Rassie.

Boks under the pump now. Both teams forgot defense, it's all out attack.. Manie has been great.

This is nerve-racking, even for a neutral. If the second half's anywhere near as good as the first, we're in for a real treat.

Fantastic game, but very contrasting styles, France creating space, holes and overlaps and scoring from them. SA not really creating much but ruthlessly punishing France errors...really hard one to call.

Had France scored that second try i think they would be out of sight by now. Fair fucks to the saffers though for getting back into it.

For the sake of the competition France needs to go through.

Fairly entertaining half, but not enough screaming at the ref for me.

Nice to have PSDT to go straight into the second row for the scrums

Bullshit "turnover good", he was the tackler that never released or got back to his feet first.

He’s been massive so far. Interesting call. Plus the walking shampoo advert in now for Sefrica.

France are showing such an ability to fick up golden chances.
