Springboks have made Paris their fortress

Siya Kolisi's South Africa are targeting a fifth consecutive victory against France at the Stade de France in Paris. The Springboks have won their last four Tests at the venue and nine of their last 10 meetings overall against France, including their 2023 Rugby World Cup quarter-final win and a 32-17 triumph last year.

Head coach Rassie Erasmus is expected to field a familiar lineup following a dominant 66-7 win over Italy in Turin. France, led by head coach Fabien Galthié and returning scrumhalf Antoine Dupont, enter the Nations Championship match looking to end South Africa's dominance at their national stadium.
