Episode Synopsis

A 14-man Springbok side delivered a sensational second-half performance in Paris on Saturday evening, stunning France 32-17 at the Stade de France to reaffirm their status as world champions and the best team on the planet.
In the build-up to the clash, much of the talk centred on France’s thirst for revenge after the Springboks’ narrow one-point victory in the 2023 Rugby World Cup quarter-final at Saint-Denis. And when the Boks were reduced to 14 men on the stroke of half-time following Lood de Jager’s controversial red card, it felt as though Les Bleus might finally have their retribution.
Coach Rassie Erasmus and captain Siya Kolisi react to the victory.
