The Nations Championship continued on Friday and Round Five kicked off with a blockbuster fixture as France edged the Springboks 21-19.
Scroll down to follow our live blog of the international at the Stade de France.
World champions South Africa were favourites to come out on top and that was due in part to France being decimated by fly-half injuries, with regular star scrum-half Antoine Dupont stepping up to wear the number 10 jersey.
Dupont shone to win the Player of the Match award as France consolidated their position atop the Northern Hemisphere Nations Championship table.
South Africa’s loss opens the door to New Zealand on the southern table with the All Blacks tackling Wales at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff tomorrow.
