What have the coaches said?

France head coach Fabien Galthie: "We are still a young team compared to the other selections. We are on a path that is guided by victories but we have a form of consistency in what we do. It encourages us to continue. To continue to innovate too because each match brings its discoveries."

South Africa director of rugby Rassie Erasmus: “The first thing: it’s definitely not nerves or pressure that we put on the guys. The skill-sets that we get from the guys, where they are all over the world… Even going to the kicking game, I hear a lot of people saying ‘Get a kicking coach, get a kicking coach’. But if we get a guy in with us for about 10 games, and then the other 42 weeks of the year, he is with his provincial or franchise kicking coach"
