Paying little mind to possible permutations that could see them face any one of South Africa, Ireland or Scotland, Fabien Galthie’s side have fixed their focus on the Springboks.The last meeting between the two sides was a contentious narrow defeat for the Springboks in Paris.France are set to make a late call on Antoine Dupont’s involvement in the quarter-final after he underwent surgery for a broken cheekbone.
“I’m delighted to have stamped this qualification but our next appointment is on Sunday and is another World Cup Final.”Galthie says that France are relishing facing the defending world champions as they seek to establish themselves as deserving of Rugby World Cup glory.
