France vs Australia LIVE: Result and reaction after Wallabies thrashed in Paris

Thomas Ramos pops through the penalty.

France win a penalty 35 metres out from their own line. Antoine Dupont is always alive to the possibilities and taps and goes, with Australia’s forwards all within ten metres and thus unable to grasp him before he’s accelerated out of sight. Matthieu Jalibert arrives in support and shows off his own speed.

Australia scramble back but Suliasi Vunivalu goes off his feet at a ruck. Luke Pearce goes to his pocket for what he deems a cynical offence - Vunivalu looks perplexed but had that ball come out, there were French overlaps on both sides.

Pinched at the front! Cameron Woki is such a good defensive lineout jumper, the replacement lock up in front of Tom Hooper to pilfer Dave Porecki’s throw. Antoine Dupont hooks a superb clearance away off his weaker left boot.

This is a good period from Australia. Tate McDermott is keeping the tempo high and the visiting forwards are asking complex questions with sharp handling at the line. Another penalty and another return to the French red area.

A raft of forward changes from France, bringing on five of their six pack substitutes with only Paul Boudehent left unused. The cavalry do their job, both Taofifenua brothers right in the thick of things as the Wallabies fail to make ground around the fringes.

Carter Gordon cross-kicks, hoping to utilise Suliasi Vunivalu’s aerial strength. The ex-rugby leaguer rises superbly but Gordon’s kick was floaty and shallow, and France drive the wing towards the touchline.

France play ambitiously from their own in-goal, first Gabin Villiere and then Damian Penaud just about managing to extricate themselves. Penaud’s offload is a proper hospital pass, though, Thomas Ramos taking the ball and a clattering from Taniela Tupou.

In pour Tupou’s teammates to capitalise on the tighthead’s crunching hit. Australia soon win a penalty and prod into the left corner.

France quell Australia’s maul but the Wallabies play energetically, making metres on a leftward arc. Will Skelton carries three defenders with him, but the strength of his charge takes him away from his support, allowing Julien Marchand to feast on breakdown ball.

Gael Fickou forces an offload, finding neither Thibaud Flament nor Thomas Ramos, who knocks on attempting to salvage the situation. Flament plays the ball in front of his full back - penalty to Australia.

Well well well. Thomas Ramos shakes his head as he misses, by his standard, a sitter. A flick of the outside of the post and away.

The French forwards come firing out the blocks, with Antoine Dupont picking his runners. A wider pass lands in the hands of Gael Fickou, who is caught high by opposite number Lalakai Foketi.

Antoine Dupont points at the posts and Thomas Ramos will look to make it five from five from the tee.
