France are at home against South Africa in Round Five of the Nations Championship

READERS’ FORUM: Welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Nations Championship Round Five encounter between France and South Africa in Saint-Denis.

For France, it’s a sorry run of nine defeats from their last 10 matches against South Africa.

In that run, the Springboks even dished out a humbling 32-17 defeat for the French at the Stade de France last year despite playing the entire second half with 14 men following lock Lood de Jager’s red card at the end of the first period.
