Rassie Erasmus - Facing Les Bleus in France

The Springboks are bracing for a backlash on Saturday when they take on France in Paris in their second Test of the End-of-Year tour.
The Boks are confident going into the Test against France after their 61-7 victory over Japan at Wembley in London on the weekend - a win that did come at a price due to the injury of loosehead prop Ox Nché.

Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus warned that no matter how high their confidence is, playing against the French in their own backyard is always a beast of a different nature.
