The present South Africa side should still be the one to represent the 1995 World Cup winners in the 2007 renewal, coach Jake White said on Friday. ”This is a squad that takes the sport really seriously, and given the history of the Springboks, the fans expect us to win,” he said.

Veteran wing Breyton Paulse was recalled to the South African line-up to play France at the Stade de France in Chantilly on Saturday. He and fellow veteran Os du Randt are the only two changes to the side that beat Wales 33-16 in Cardiff last Saturday. Paulse wins his 55th cap at the expense of Conrad Jantjes.
