Pollard converts
France 10 Springboks 18

YELLOW CARD to Baptiste Serin! France down to 14 as the replacement scrumhalf is sent to the bin.
18 Nov 2017
57' - After running backward and sideways, Kriel beats a few defenders. He looks to offload to Marx who is tackled early.
Penalty to the Boks, might be a card as well.
18 Nov 2017

18 Nov 2017
42' - The Boks win the attacking lineout, the maul goes to ground and Nigel Owens has ruled a scrum to France saying the Boks took the maul to ground.
And now a scrum penalty to the French will allow them to relieve the pressure.
18 Nov 2017

18 Nov 2017
Second half about to get underway in Paris

Springboks with 53% of possession and territory in that half so far.
17 missed tackles is a bit of an issue.
18 Nov 2017
HALF-TIME IN PARIS
France 7 Springboks 8
The half started promisingly for the Boks, but again, too much aimless kicking, some dodgy tackling and woeful passing. And the French are just as bad!
18 Nov 2017
40' - Another penalty to the Boks and Pollard will try again.
This is from 45m and straight in front.
The Bok pivot again pushes his effort out to the right.
And that is half-time.
18 Nov 2017
37' - Pollard misses out to the right. That wasn't a difficult kick by his standards
18 Nov 2017
36' - Penalty for the Boks. This is kickable and Pollard is having a shot at goal as the rain starts to fall in Paris.
