[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 607559, member: 57076"] ehhhhhhh, don't tell me about that match...!! ;) Honestly I quite like that we rarely face off. It makes it all the more special. Like, I'm REALLY looking forward to this one. Since I've been a fan officially, I've never had the opportunity to anticipate a FRA SA match. Some matchups have turned stale already and have completely lost of their 'exotic' flavor: Australia have played Italy 7 times in 6 years, not a year skipped. Sure each time is a new situation and each match has its own complexion, but it's still a yearly thing. France South Africa is most definitely the rarest fixture in terms of top nations for France. We've faced off just once during a RWC, in a...rather controversial ending. We've played each other 'just' 11 times since the new millennium, and 9 times during the 90's. Speaking of our confrontations since the new millennium, here's a table of all the results throughout the 2000's/10's so far (excellent for France): [TABLE="class: wikitable"] <tbody>[TR]
