In a very tense but pulsating Test match, the Boks scored three tries against France’s four. When Bok fullback Percy Montgomery kicked a drop goal with 16 minutes left to give the Boks a 30-25 lead it was temporary relief as the French leftwing Julien Candelon scored in the 75th minute to tie the scores but replacemen­t scrumhalf Dimitri Yachvili hit the upright with the conversion which could have secured a win for the French. The teams drew a second time in Durban following a 20-20 draw in 1993, while wing Bryan Habana (right) scored a brace of tries the third time in his last four Test matches. It was the sixth draw between the countries, the most against any other nation.
