Bok playmakers: Italy Test laid foundation for Le Bleus showdown

Springbok backline duo Damian Willemse and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu stated that South Africa's 66-7 Nations Championship victory over Italy provided the perfect foundation for their upcoming Test against France in Paris. The Springboks built an imposing 45-0 lead by halftime, with Feinberg-Mngomezulu scoring the opening 10 points within the first 10 minutes through a penalty, a try, and a conversion.

Despite the commanding victory, both playmakers emphasized that the team still has areas to improve before facing a difficult French side. Willemse noted the challenge ahead in Paris, recalling last year's tightly contested victory against France, while Feinberg-Mngomezulu praised the squad for maintaining structure and accumulating valuable preparation for the upcoming fixtures.
