The Test meant to take place between a Springbok XV and France at the Boland Stadium on June the 17th have been cancelled due to logistical difficulties.
The match was scheduled to be sandwiched between the Test between the Springboks and France Cape Town on June 12 and Argentina’s home test against France on June 19, but has now been shelved.
Imanol Harinordoquy, French flanker have named the Springboks the best team in the World, but added that the Boks are a nasty team to contend with.
Harinordoquy, who will start on the flank this weekend alongside captain Thierry Dusautoir and No.8 Louis Picamoles, says he is looking forward to the challenge of taking on the World Champions when the two powerful teams collide in France on Friday.
Expecting a physical challenge, the Biarritz star says, while they stay within the laws, the Boks are a ‘nasty’ outfit to have to contend with. Ironically, given his own physical nature, the term nasty seems to be one which the Frenchman uses as a compliment for John Smit’s men.
“South Africa are world champions, they are the best team in the world but they also are the nastiest and most physical team in the world. A team that is always trying to hurt,” he explained to journalists on Monday.
