We're into the final 10 minutes in Northampton.

Can South Africa get a try? They've grown into the game during this second half but it's all been too little, too late.

Everyone is taking in a big breath. These are the moments that you can't coach

The crowd erupts as South Africa's Maceala Samboya tries to break down the left flank but once again, Joanna Grisez is in the way.

France pop up with the ball and put on a big kick chase, which Nadine Roos comes out of nowhere to disrupt. What an effort from the scrum-half. That had try written all over it.

Another spell of possession for South Africa but France's defence holds firm.

They switch the ball left in search of a gap but Joanna Grisez is out of the line in a flash to force the error.

This is better from South Africa but they're lacking a little bit of quality.

South Africa get themselves within sight of France's tryline for the first time in a long time, building 16 or 17 phases of clean rugby.

Predictably, they give away a penalty to release the pressure. Ah well.

Fortunately for South Africa, France's head coaches are merciful people.

They've taken Pauline Bourdon Sansus off for a well-earned rest. She's been replaced by Alex Chambon.

Sansus wanting to keep South Africa out of this game, not giving them time to reset. Watching Deshaye is smart, she has a little look and then has the power to finish it.

A little game of hot potato in the middle of the park as both sets of players decide that holding onto the ball is over-rated.

Loose passes and knock-ons are traded before France are awarded a scrum just inside their own half.

France waste no time in launching another attack. They win a scrum penalty and take it quickly, moving the ball over to the right and sending South Africa scrambling.

However, Aphiwe Ngwevu is all over Nassira Konde, holding her up to rescue the ball for South Africa.

That was all legal but it was the initial play where she was trying to go for the steal.

But wait... the TMO has intervened after spotting a knock-on in the build-up to Pauline Bourdon Sansus' try.

She shoots a filthy look at the replay screen.

France's average winning margin against South Africa (from four wins) is 42 points, so there could be more tries to come.

The speed with which France are playing at the moment just means South Africa are just not quick enough to recover.

France's defence has passed its first real test of the afternoon with flying colours.

South Africa had done well to steal the ball to set up the attack but Maceala Samboya is halted in her tracks by a bruising hit and the ball pops loose.

A rare poor scrum from France, with the front row collapsing against South Africa's new-look pack.

South Africa, who had the put in deep in their own half, won't mind that.

Following France's fifth try, South Africa have rung the changes. Forwards are swapping over left, right, and centre and fly-half Mary Zulu has also departed.

It feels a little bit like the final roll of the dice for South Africa.

The simple hands have done really well. It gave South Africa too much to do on the outside and then Boulard was in for her second try.
