Fulgence Ouedraogo is forced off with an injury. It seems it may have been the same shoulder injury that orignally kept him out of the squad for these internationals before being recalled. Bernard Le Roux is on.
Poor miss from Fangatapau Apikotoa as he hits the post with his effort from the right of the posts only 20 metres out. Still 8-0 to France.
All of a sudden Tonga find their feet and after some fantastic build up play they earn a penalty deep in the French 22 for not rolling away.
France looking totally dominant early on, a powerful scrum earns them a penalty on half-way from which they kick to touch.
TRY FRANCE. France's good start continues and debutant Sofiane Guitoune scores after a perfectly timed cross kick from Remi Tales put him over. Parra misses from the touchline. 8-0 France lead.
PENALTY FRANCE. Parra kicks his side into the lead from about 30 metres out, just left of the posts. 3-0 France.
Early penalty after Morgan Parra is taken out when chasing his own kick.
Full-back Brice Dulin makes an early break and straight away France or on the front foot.
Very intense performance which has set the atmosphere nicely, we're underway!
The anthems are out of the way and now Tonga are ready to perform their traditional war-dance!
