Springbok captain Siya Kolisi praised his team’s attitude and effort despite their narrow 30-26 defeat against France at the Stade Velodrome in Marseille on Saturday.
The Springboks will depart for Genoa on Sunday to begin preparations for their third Test on tour against Italy.
“We kept on working for one another after the red card and we are proud of that It’s horrible to lose and especially like that,” Kolisi said.
“The guys played well and they kept on fighting, but France played a little better.
“They are a great side and they showed it by being unbeaten in 12 games. They have a strong pack and backs that can take the opportunities, and they had a great atmosphere behind them in the match.”
