France vs South Africa Betting Tips Rugby World Cup 2023

On the African side, they enter the 2023 Rugby World Cup as the runners-up in the last Rugby Championship, securing 18 points, just one point behind the champions, New Zealand. Jacques Nienaber’s team has maintained a consistent performance, although they’ve struggled to overcome their direct rival, Ireland, in this competition.

Meanwhile, the host nation, France, ranks among the world’s top teams despite finishing second in the 6 Nations with 20 points. Notably, they triumphed in a pivotal match against the All Blacks in their group.

How The Blues and The Springboks play and Statistics

France’s playing style revolves around intensity, continuous ball movement, and the threat of their attacking moves. They consistently engage in passes during contact situations, which can unsettle opposing defenses and create problems for them.

South Africa, on the other hand, has remained steadfast in their playing approach. They persistently aim to relinquish possession to the opponent, often through kicks executed by the fly-half or scrum-half. Their strategy frequently centers on control through the line-out and maul, coupled with intelligent decision-making that minimizes the risk to their own goal. As we anticipate this clash, it promises to be a captivating contest of contrasting styles and tactical approaches.

France vs South Africa Match Preview

In a journey through history, France and South Africa have crossed paths in a Rugby World Cup encounter before. On June 17, 1995, at Durban’s Kings Park Stadium, they faced off in a pivotal semifinal match during that World Cup. The Springboks clinched victory in a closely contested battle, with a final score of 19 to 15.

Let’s look at the World Cup statistics for both teams:

• Under the leadership of Christoph Galthié, the French team has participated in a total of 57 World Cup matches. Out of these, they emerged victorious in 40 games, secured two draws, and faced defeat on 15 occasions, boasting an overall success rate of 70%. Their cumulative points scored stand at 1,795, while they’ve conceded approximately 998 points. Although they’ve reached the final on three occasions (in 1987, 1999, and 2011), they have yet to claim the championship title.
• The Springboks have contested 47 matches in the history of this prestigious tournament. Out of these, they’ve achieved victory in 39 encounters, recorded no draws, and suffered 8 losses, boasting an impressive success rate of 83%. They have accumulated a total of 1,663 points while conceding 586. Notably, the Springboks secured championship victories in 1995, 2007, and 2019 editions of the tournament. It’s worth noting that they did not participate in any similar tournaments before 1995 due to Apartheid-related restrictions.
