Springboks fall to France

France scored two tries in the first 10 minutes and held out South Africa 26-20 in a rugby international at Stade de France on Saturday. Early tries by Dimitri Szarzewski and Frederic Michalak helped France lead 15-0 at half-time, though captain Jerome Thion left shortly afterward from an elbow in the face by South African counterpart John Smit.
