Wallabies v France 3
-
Great series and, particularly the last two games, very entertaining.
A series against the first choice French team would have been completely different though. While we may now have an idea where the Wallabies are at, we have to wait until the EOYT to see how strong the French really are (Covid permitting).

@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.
I'm sorry but you are wrong. The depth and quality of france is nothing short of remarkable.
I would like to see australia try and beat a full strength french team at the very end of the season.
They may have lost this series but they are still one of the favorites for the world cup

Along with the Aussies…oh sorry that was 2019 😉

Awesome game and awesome series. Not great for the wife's nerves but she hung in there to see them take the series by 3 points.
Rennie looks to be building a great culture in the Wallabies, can only see them improving from here.

Rennie on the past Match interview with Stan when asked about the red card: "we thought it was shoulder on shoulder from the angles we saw but the refs made their call.
I mean, a few of our guys got clocked in the head but the difference is they just got up and got on with it..."

That's a big call, I don't really follow NH rugby - have they been cleaning up the 6 nations lately?

They would have won the last two but for amusing slip-ups against Scotland. Think they will be a strong team in 2023 in their own backyard. But they are disadvantaging themselves by passing up opportunities to play together more often.

This is a key point. Rennie is clearly getting buy in from his players now and Australian rugby will only benefit from that.

Hard to take a team that regularly loses to Scotland seriously when it comes to WC favourites.

Great test to end an enjoyable series
That win by the wallabies is enormous for a young side. Good talent, good coach. Something building

Reality will greet them in a few weeks at Eden Park, unfortunately.
I'm overjoyed at the spirit but I'm resigned.

Outcomes are irrelevant. Look for the things that work

What makes you say something like that ?
This is a third string French team. None of them are likely starters when the incumbents are back. Barlot must be ranked fifth or sixth in the pecking order behind Marchand,Chat,Bourgarit and Mauvaka. The same applies to the props and the locks. Couilloud is well behind Dupont and Serin, while today ´s 1st Five was not even cited among the top five players in his position..No one knew Jaminet before the series started.
And so on… -
Great watch
Great result
