Pretty much full strength?
Apart from Baille (and Ntarmack).
So the best they can put out who aren't injured. Sheet.

I’m not sure what it is about the French but they have a habit of putting out excellent, slightly mental, number eights who I love to see in action.
Alldritt is the latest in a pretty long line….
Picamoles, Harinordiquay, Chabal, Benazzi, Cecillon ( ok he was considerably more mental off the pitch )

At what? Getting fucked over by competent experienced teams? It looks lame and pathetic, and 'building for the future' - a future that will involve being reamed by everyone decent. The barely fit Tupou is most caps with 48, what a pile o shite
-
Bad early miss from Gordon
Australia have to take their points when they’re presented
-
Australia were on a roll then
Good to see ref calling off feet and beyond the ball at the ruck
Let’s hope he’s consistent
-
Good communication between ref and TMO early
Huge bust up by Danty
Fra 7-0 Aus
7 mins -
Danty is a lump, just brushed Aus defenders out of the way like matchsticks.
-
Good charge down from Skelton then shit discipline at the lineout to concede territory and a free kick
-
Beautiful exit. Note to ABs. Kick long from your 22
-
Blocking from France
Ref not missing any shithousery
-
Aus need to score here
