South Africa coach Rassie Erasmus says the players will need to lift their performance another notch as they prepare for their match against France this weekend.
Following their 61-7 win against Japan yesterday, Erasmus says for him, it is about how the players approached the game, the respect they showed, and the physicality they brought
He says everything was not perfect, but he is pleased with the intensity.
South Africa beat France 29-28 in an epic 2023 Rugby World Cup clash in Paris two years ago, and Erasmus knows that result will have their opponents fired up for revenge.
He adds that most of the players have experienced that atmosphere before, and they will need to be really intelligent and physical this week to be ready.
South Africa will take on France at 8.10am on Sunday at Stade de France.
