France wins in Australia for the first time in 31 years

Zaminet’s faultless

In front of the audience of Amy Park, the French were still in the lead. Metronome’s regularity ahead of Zaminet’s (4/4 in the first period) positions and Benat’s test allowed him to take a ten-point (16-6) lead over the course of the game. One of the most important walleyes with her sharp runs, winger Marika Corybet, for her partner Tom Wright’s perspective, after seeking the video, was denied the attempt. But the Australians, who are more structured in their game than last week, were able to reduce the score just before the break (16-13) thanks to a good build from right to left, with their scrum half Jack Gordon.

Dave Rennie’s men came back to the score from the locker room to thank Lolesio for the start. But the Blues, more disciplined than last week, took the lead in the attack and fight, pushing Wallaby back into the field. Zaminet, again, allowed the French to take nine steps (25-16) within twenty minutes of the siren. But Australian captain Michael Hooper brought his team a second attempt within ten minutes of time and showed rebellion. Lolesio then allowed his team to take advantage of a penalty (26-28) for the first time. The final penalty for the Frenchman, who was involved in the French defeat last week, was awarded to the Blues.

France’s XV have not won in Australia since 30 June 1990 and have won 28-19.
