<\/a>SIN-BIN! France 17-13 South Africa (Louis Bielle-Biarrey, 64 mins)<\/p>\n

It IS a yellow card for Louis Bielle-Biarrey but no penalty try as there was enough cover outside. It will still be 14 vs 14 for the next 10 minutes though.<\/p>\n

The Boks go back to the corner from the penalty…<\/p>\n

Nortje takes in the ball and the maul gets rolling towards the line. Stopped a metre short, they then try to go wide right to finish it off but the ball is loose.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re coming back for a potential deliberate knock-on from Bielle-Biarrey… He tries to make the intercept but goes with one hand and that will be a penalty.<\/p>\n

Will it be a penalty try and\/or a yellow card?<\/p>\n

South Africa build in the French half – their first spell of sustained possession in opposition territory in the second half.<\/p>\n

They run the phases and win a penalty deep in the 22. They kick to touch and will try to maul over the line for the try<\/p>\n

<\/a>PENALTY! France 17-13 South Africa (Thomas Ramos, 60 mins)<\/p>\n

Is Thomas Ramos the best goal-kicker in world rugby? He might well be.<\/p>\n

He slots this one from long distance with no fuss anyway.<\/p>\n

Oscar Jegou take a bow! France smothering South Africa on the rare occasion the visitors have the ball. Libbok is hurried and his kick clear is blocked before Feinberg-Ngomezulu is caught in possession and Jegou forces the penalty.<\/p>\n

A big kick at goal upcoming.<\/p>\n

Snyman getting through his work with two tackles in the space of five seconds as France keep probing but can\u2019t yet pierce the South African wall.<\/p>\n

Manie Libbok on for Damian Willemse. It will be interesting to see if he takes over kicking duties from Feinberg-Mngomezulu but Libbok will certainly take over the fly half role, with the youner man switching from No 10 to 15. Interesting call from Rassie Erasmus<\/p>\n

<\/a>France 14-13 South Africa, 54 mins<\/p>\n

Another mistake from Feinberg-Mngomezulu, who is a young superstar but whose fundamentals have let him down just a little today. He misses touch from the penalty and that means the Boks can\u2019t relieve the pressure.<\/p>\n

A Ramos dink then sends Penaud in pursuit but the ball just bounces into touch. The Boks clear from the defensive lineout.<\/p>\n

<\/a>France 14-13 South Africa, 52 mins<\/p>\n

France are trying to find a way through but the white Springbok wall manages to hold firm around the 22. They\u2019re hanging on but only trail by a point – can they ride out this wave of pressure?<\/p>\n

Now, South Africa win a scrum penalty as their pack does the business again. Aldegheri punished for a dodgy bind.<\/p>\n

<\/a>France 14-13 South Africa, 49 mins<\/p>\n

Teams love bringing on their \u2018Bomb Squad\u2019 from the bench en masse now. The Springboks are trend-setters there.<\/p>\n

Guillaume Cramont, Jean-Baptiste Gros, Dorian Aldegheri Romain Taofifenua and Oscar Jegou all come in the French pack.<\/p>\n

Quick hands by Les Bleus with a great pop pass from Flament but Taofifenua is stretching and juuust knocks on with his fingertops.<\/p>\n

<\/a>France 14-13 South Africa, 47 mins<\/p>\n

France on the front foot again. Ntamack goes in, then Guillard churns his way into the 22.<\/p>\n

They go left where Penaud and Bielle-Biarrey offload and slide through a gap but the final pass inside finds a Boks hand, so they survive for now.<\/p>\n
