"We Springbok fans need to take it down a notch. I was also at the game, and the French fans were phenomenal. There was a lot of banter between us and the French, but it was all done in good spirits, and they were gracious in defeat. I loved the passion they showed their team, and the way the entire stadium sang for the team during the game was unbelievable."
