What channel is France v South Africa International match on? Kick-off time and live stream
Check out our guide about how to watch France v South Africa in the Autumn Internationals 2022 including TV details and UK time.
On the face of it, France’s clash with South Africa on Saturday night should be the game of the weekend. France squeezed beyond Australia in Paris last weekend thanks to a stunning Damien Penaud try with just five minutes of the game left, and they will hope to build on that result.
The scoreline read 30-29 in favour of Fabien Galthie’s side at full time. The World Cup hosts and favourites for next year's tournament impressed hugely with their determination to pick up a positive result.
In contrast, South Africa are coming off the back of a 16-19 loss to Ireland. Failing to fire in Dublin, a late rally from the Springboks was not enough to change the result.
Franco Mostert and Kurt-Lee Arendse crossed the whitewash to give South African fans fresh hope with less than 15 minutes on the clock, but the World Cup winners suffered a poor day from the kicking tee. A penalty miss and two missed conversions by Damian Willemse and Cheslin Kolbe proved decisive.
This should be a clash to remember in Marseille. Each team boasts a talented forward pack and backlines filled with talent capable of stepping into any team in the world.
