France and South Africa meet at the Stade de France for a headline clash in the 2025 Autumn Nations Series.
It’s their first meeting since the 2023 Rugby World Cup quarterfinal, when the Springboks edged a 29-28 thriller on their way to another world title.
Among other important storylines ahead of this game, Siya Kolisi earns his 100th test cap, while Romain Ntamack returns from injury to guide Les Bleus.
Across from Ntamack, Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, one of world rugby’s fastest-rising fly-halves, continues to impress for the reigning champions.
South Africa arrive as World No. 1, with France seeking payback on home soil.
Follow along for live updates and scores as France hosts South Africa at Stade de France on Nov. 8.
