France vs South Africa Women Predictions

France Women are big favourites with the handicap set at 24.5 points. While their history against South Africa is dominant, the Springbok ladies have performed very well in their two World Cup games. I am leading towards the South Africans to get within 24.5 points.

Head to Head

France and South Africa have met five times with France winning four along with one draw back in 2009.

France Women Form

France Women are considered among the top sides, or at least the level just below Canada, New Zealand and England. On their day they can cause anyone problems as they showed in the Six Nations this year when they narrowly lost 43-42 to England.

At this World Cup, France have looked very strong. They comfortably saw off Italy 24-0 in their opening game before thrashing Brazil 84-5 last weekend.

Regardless, this is a huge game, and France will not want to underestimate the South African side. The loser of this fixture is very likely to face New Zealand in the quarters, something France will desperately want to avoid.

South Africa Women Form

The South African’s women’s team is arguably the most improved side over the last two years. They have come a long way and shocked the world at this World Cup.

In their opener, South Africa beat Brazil 66-6, a game they were expected to win but they still produced a good performance. However, last weekend, in a very tight contest, South Africa beat Italy Women 29-24 in a huge upset.

That result meant that for the first time ever South Africa have qualified for the quarters. In fact, this is their only two wins in World Cup history.

Verdict

France v South Africa

My best bet is for South Africa to get within 24.5 points against France Women.
