Here’s Angus Fontaine’s match report:
With those lovely words from Edwards, I’ll sign off. What a game. Really, that was just so much fun.
Australia gave as good as they got and went ahead twice in the contest with two brilliant tries. The first was a thing of beauty and I suggest you go find a replay of it ASAP.
But France are the real deal and this win, sealed with a majestic score from Penaud, extends their winning run to 11. Will they lose another game before the World Cup next year. Almost certainly. But this victory will give them immense confidence as they gear up for that showpiece event on home soil.
But first, the Springboks in Marseille next week. The Aussies go to Florence to take on Italy. That’ll be a goodie as well.
I’ll catch you then.
