France will welcome South Africa to Paris on Saturday just two years after the devastating World Cup defeat by a single point at the same venue.

The Springboks are two-time world champions but playing France in front of a sell-out crowd is one of the toughest tests in rugby and fans can expect a close game between the two heavyweights.

The match will be shown on TNT Sports in the UK. If you have an Amazon Prime subscription there is an easy way to watch every Autumn International by adding TNT Sports to your Prime subscription.

Adding TNT Sports will give you a month of access and it will allow you to watch four games across Saturday, including a choice of the 5.40pm games between England and Fiji, and Italy and Australia.

The match will also be shown on SuperSport in South Africa and Peacock in the USA.

The France versus South Africa game is the final one on Saturday, November 8, with kick off at 8.10pm.

Visitors South Africa are fresh off a 61-7 thrashing of Japan at Wembley Stadium in the opening Autumn International, while France have yet to play since suffering defeat on tour in New Zealand in July.
