Are the Springboks back?

The second test against France was billed as the one chance France has to upset the Springboks at home. The match started out with a bang when Scot Spedding (former Baby Bok) scored in the left corner and breaking his nose while doing it. After reviewing the try was given the all clear and was awarded putting the French 7-0 up in the first 10min.
But, that's where it all went south.
The Springboks quickly gained composure and started to play the game that they had planned with massive hits, scintillating line breaks leading to some incredible tries from flanker Siya "the bear" Kholisi and a powering run from Coenie Oostehuizen.
The French had no answer for all the pressure applied and ultimately managed to score two consolation tries which didn't help them with the end result.

With the final test this weekend at Emirates Park in Johannesburg, it's difficult to see the Springboks losing it and you wouldn't be blamed to expect a complete rout of the French.
