Fabien Galthie named his side to face the Springboks
France Autumn Internationals Squad 2022
It’s a new venue for France at the weekend, with Marseille’s Stade Velodrome hosting on Saturday, but it’s an identical XV to last week for les Bleus. If France can defeat the Springboks, they will extend their uneaten run to 12 matches.
There were question marks over centre Jonathan Danty after the birth of his child on Tuesday, but he starts again despite missing some training sessions.
Of his selection Fabien Galthie said: “Even when it’s hard, and against Australia we had moments where we were under huge pressure, we find solutions. South Africa is another team but we know we have these resources. What matters is our capacity to be composed and get those winning movements like we did last Saturday.”
