The Springbok Women, who finally got a try through energetic scrum-half Nadine Roos in the final play of the game, now face a mammoth task of defeating a Black Ferns side that put 40 points on Ireland.Image source, ReutersImage caption, Centre Gabrielle Vernier hit a hard line to cross untouched for France's second tryWho plays who in Rugby World Cup quarter-finals?Published6 hours agoWhat does try, ruck and scrum mean in rugby union?Published27 AugustLine-upsFrance: Boulard; Grisez, Konde, Vernier, Menager (c); Queyroi, Sansus; Brosseau, Gerin, Bernadou, Feleu (capt), Raclot, Berthoumieu, Champon, Escudero.Replacements: Riffonneau, Deshaye, Khalfaoui, Ikahehegi, Maka, Okemba, Chambon, Bourgeois.South Africa: Dolf; Cilliers, Webb, Qawe, Samboya; Zulu, Roos; Ngxingolo, Gunter, Latsha (capt), Ubisi, Qolo, Makua, Jacobs, Hele.Replacements: Hanekom, Khuzwayo, Mdliki, Mokwai, Tshauke, Mcatshulwa, Kinsey, Ngwevu.Match officials Referee: Clara Munarini (Italy)Assistant referees: Lauren Jenner (Italy), Jess Ling (Australia)Television match official: Rachel Horton (Australia)Related topicsRugby Union
