The French Test against the Springboks

In t he emdia there are various references to revenge by the F rench for taking out France in the 2023 RWC - but that is not at all everything that was in the media and her was a French team on the internet - which was wihdrawn suddenly. The team on the internet was as follows:-

15 Thomas Ramos, 14 Damian Penaud, 13 Pierre-Louis Barassi, 12 Gaël Fickou (c), 11 Louis Bielle-Biarrey, 10 Romain Ntamack, 9 Nolann Le Garrec, 8 Mickaël Guillard, 7 Paul Boudehent, 6 Anthony Jelonch, 5 Emmanuel Meafou, 4 Thibaud Flament, 3 Régis Montagne, 2 Julien Marchand, 1 Baptiste Erdocio.

Bench: 16 Benjamin Bertrand, 17 Jean-Baptiste Gros, 18 Thomas Laclayat, 19 Romain Taofifénua, 20 Cameron Woki, 21 Maxime Lucu, 22 Matthieu Jalibert, 23 Léo Barré.

It is likely that most if not all of the above will definitely be in the French team to be in the test on Saturday,

Apparenntly the Springbok team will be annunced later today,

The French official team released is as follows:-

Some big units in that French pack

I see Rassie got their selection 100% right - 23 from 23 :)

It should be a cracker. Hope the Boks can shut these disrespectful froggy twats down.

Yep it’s going to go down to the wire - edge of seat stuff

Looking forward to this one :)

Boks by 14 minimum...
