“When we analyse the teams we see the French team is really building up well towards the World Cup. We see Italy is ticking a few boxes by beating Wales and Australia. “The French crowd was immense and the pressure was fantastic. Players learnt to kick under pressure where they previously would not have had that experience. They can bottle that experience and take it to the World Cup.
Bok head coach Jacques Nienaber also handed starts to locks Salmaan Moerat and Marvin Orie, with Lood de Jager having returned home with a shoulder injury and Eben Etzebeth dropping to the bench.
