Selfless Kolisi Praises South Africa's Team Ethos in Paris Cauldron
Springboks overcame a red card to dominate France 32-17, securing a major win over the Six Nations champions in the Autumn Nations Series, officials said.
- Springboks stunned Les Bleus in Paris with a 32-17 victory at the Stade de France despite finishing with 14 players.
- The match was billed as a rematch of an epic World Cup quarterfinal years ago and marked Siya Kolisi's 100th Test, as the Boks had won the Rugby Championship this season and aimed to beat the Six Nations champions at home.
- Three of South Africa's tries came in the space of 13 minutes in the final quarter as France crumbled, with scores by scrumhalf Cobus Reinach, centre/flank hybrid Andre Esterhuizen, replacement scrumhalf Grant Williams, and flyhalf Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu who finished with 17 points.
- The win reinforced the Springboks' standing as world champions, underlining their credentials after Rugby Championship success and silencing the Stade de France crowd of 80,000 people.
- Referee Angus Gardner initially signalled yellow before awarding a straight red to Lood de Jager for a high shoulder blow to Thomas Ramos, with De Jager 2.04m tall and kneeling during the incident.
