The summer series against France couldn't have come at a better time for the hosts, who failed to win a single match in their tour of Europe last November. The pressure was on coach Allister Coetzee and his players at the start of the series, and he believes the team has answered some difficult questions, per Brenden Nel of SuperSport:

"Yes mistakes were made but it is the ability to rectify those mistakes and the ability to set them right. That is what is happening here, we have a great team environment, fantastic leadership group and a great captain and a willingness that everyone has bought into the plan. It is looking good. Honestly like I said eight months ago, people booed us off the field, on the very same field the players got a standing ovation. A lot of credit must go into the players for unselfishly buying into our system, our value system and creating this environment."

The Springboks have opted to play France with a squad built mostly on homegrown players, and, so far, the strategy has worked to perfection. Just four players in the 31-man team predominantly play their rugby abroad.

Les Bleus have struggled for form in 2017, and a few key injuries haven't helped heading into and during this series. Camille Lopez and Djibril Camara are crucial players for coach Guy Noves, who have struggled in all areas of the pitch but particularly with set pieces.

France are working their way back to full strength, and led by star youngster Gael Fickou, they should be able to provide the hosts with a sterner test in Johannesburg. But if flanker Siya Kolisi keeps up his unbelievable form, it's hard to see the Springboks losing the final match in this series.

Jacaranda FM's Echbert Boezak rightly praised the 26-year-old for his incredible showing in the second Test:

In front of the Jo'burg crowd, which tends to be quite vocal, the Boks will have the advantage in momentum and arguably talent as well. Unless things go drastically wrong, South Africa should finish the job and earn the sweep.
