One week before the clash between the Blues and South Africa at the Stade de France, the Springboks made the show against Japan (61-7).
Apart from the XV of France, which left its best players rested during the 9th day of the Top 14, the best nations in the world began the series of test matches for the month of November on Saturday.
While New Zealand dominated Ireland in the United States (26-10), and while England showed its solidity against Australia (25-7), South Africa did not show any details against Japan (61-7), in a match which was played at Wembley. A week before their trip to the Stade de France, the world champions sent a big message.
The Boks have a new weapon
After a try from Siya Kolisi in the 4th minute, the Springboks made the difference thanks to their new nugget, Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu. The 23-year-old opener scored two tries in the first half, and scored a total of 19 points. With a No. 10 of this quality, Rassie Erasmus has just added a frightening new piece to his puzzle.
In the second half, Japan suffered the effects of the “Bomb Squad”, this bench full of forwards who quickly enter the field. South Africa added a whopping 35 points in the second half. Fabien Galthié and the Blues, in case they doubt it, know what to expect.
