Wallabies v France 3

[Tim]

France didn't use their backs and press the advantage in that game. Also didn't kick into space intelligently.

[sparky]

Aussie win the series. But given this was largely a French third-choice team, they will be extremely happy at how competitive all these games were.

[Tim]

Great performance with 14 men. Great game.

They went wide 2-3 times and blitzed Oz on the outside...then shelved it for the last 30 minutes.

Ruck was formed immediately. Not sure how they got a penalty there.

Straight off their feet?

Ref signalled it was for holding on. But given the ruck was formed immediately surely France should not have been allowed to use their hands.

This. They probably kicked into that space twice, and obviously scored that scorcher try.

It’s almost like they expected to win against 14.

[Mackerzzzz]

Great game, great series. A shame france couldn't have brought their best team.

Excellent from australia tonight though, to do it with 14

[ACT Crusader]

Booooooo.

Shame the starting French hooker wasn’t on at the end to take control of that maul.

[Toddy]

What an awesome test series this was. Such two evenly matched teams.

Great improvement by Oz in this game. Rucks were a shitload better and the handling much improved. Reckon theyd have won by 10-15 if that red hadn't of been given.

[Canes4life]

That’s the sort of performance that Aussie rugby desperately need. Galvanising effort.

[Derpus]

@sparky lost to 14 men over 80.

This, 'oh its only our D team i wasnt even trying my hardest bro' is genuine schoolground nonsense.

They wont win the World Cup. When was the last time they even won thr 6N. They are flogs and will exit in the quarters.

[barbarian]

You fucken beeeeeaauty. Just nice to win a series. What a game. All heart.

They did both. But when it wasn't smart for either

[Tordah]

Exciting series. I've noticed I can't stand Sean Maloney as the main commentator, he should stick to the co-comm or tactics guy role, he is very annoying to listen to as the play-by-play-guy.

[His Bobness]

Ended up cheering for the Wallabies after that ridiculous red card. Well deserved win.

[Tim]

@toddy Yeah, really enjoyed watching these games. Way more than usual for neutral games.

A lot to be said for three match series.

[mariner4life]

That was a ripper of a game. Wallabies were unreal and deserved that

Very good series

[Steven Harris]

Excellent from the Wallabies, the heart they showed this evening was just tremendous…Micheal Hooper was sensational, and having some fire power off in the bench in the form of Taniella Tupou especially was a master stroke from the coaching staff
