Fans say Boks miss FDP most

Cape Town - Sport24 readers have said that of all the players likely to miss the Springboks' game against France, Fourie du Preez will be missed the most.

Sport24 asked:

"Whose absence from the Springbok team could potentially hurt the Springboks most against France?"

These were the results:

30% Francois Louw. If he doesn't recover we have no back-up specialist fetcher

5% Frans Malherbe. Coenie could struggle at tighthead against scrum-savvy France

65% Fourie du Preez. The next best scrumhalf option is a massive step down

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
