WATCH: Durbanites give their predictions on Springbok, France quarter final clash

The Springboks play at the Stade de France in Paris on Sunday.

AS the Springboks gear up for Sunday’s World Cup quarter-final clash hosts France, one of the biggest questions being discussed is ‘who is going to win?’.

Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber has named an experienced team – including 15 players who featured in the 2019 final – for the match at the Stade de France in Paris.

Eight of Sunday’s starting XV started in the 2019 Rugby World Cup final which saw the boks beat England 32-12.

Among them is Siya Kolisi, who will captain the Boks again, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Duane Vermeulen, Bongi Mbonambi, Eben Etzebeth, Frans Malherbe, Damian de Allende and Cheslin Kolbe.

Caxton Durban visited the Durban Promenade on Friday to get their take on who will win this Sunday’s match-up and here’s what they had to say.
