It says a lot about the strength of South African rugby that they managed a comfortable win against France despite playing more than 40 minutes with 14 men. Les Bleus led 14-13 at half-time, but second-half scores from André Esterhuizen, Grant Williams, and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu secured a 32-17 victory at the Stade de France.
This time, the World Champions have selected a much-changed side, but one with more than enough quality to pose serious problems for Italy. Siya Kolisi remains in the team for his 101st cap, but with only three other players retained in the starting XV, gli Azzurri will be confident of a potential upset.
For Italy, the hope is that their recent upsurge in form, particularly at home, can be capped off with an impressive win against the Springboks. Last week, they defeated Australia 26-19 in Udine, and South Africa is a team they have beaten before, winning 20-18 back in 2016. The hallmark of Italy’s side is, of course, their free-flowing backline, with Ange Capuozzo, Paolo Garbisi, and Monty Ioane electrifying when at their best. The question is: will it be enough against the might of the Springboks?
