South Africa's "Baby Boks" took third place at the World Under-20 Championship on Saturday with a four-try, 31-18 win over France.
All of the team's tries came in the first half through Thomas Du Toit (15th minute), Jason Jenkins (28th) and Dan Duprez (33rd and 39th) as South Africa led 28-8 at half-time.
“We showed good composure to score those tries in the first half after France had led 8-0," said South Africa coach Dawie Theron.
"We couldn’t find our rhythm and momentum in the second half and the French did well to put us under pressure.
“I’m glad we were able to finish the tournament with a win.”
New Zealand and England meet in the final later Saturday.
