France receive a kick and counter attack, they are met by a stiff defense. Struggling to get over the advantage line.
Australia starting the half much like they did in the first half with them spreading the ball from end to end. Folau runs a beautiful line and breaks through the French midfield untouched and goes 25m to score under the poles. Beautiful rugby.
Foley gets the second half underway, France gather the ball and clear it. Aussie lineout on halfway.
Halftime in a very one-sided first half which saw Australia do all the work. They have played at a very high pace which France doesn't seem to have an answer for. France need to keep possession for longer periods if they wish to make a comeback in the second half.
Australia getting over the advantage line with ease, Palu makes a great break through the midfield and eventually gets brought down. Ashley-Cooper loses the ball forward after he lost sight of it in the sun. French scrum on their own 22m.
^ it is part of the game :)
Try scoring machine
Australia have a scrum 30m out from their own tryline. Scrum goes down again, ref will need to make a decision if this continues.
France receive the ball from the kickoff and bash it up a couple of times before clearing for touch, Australia lineout 30m out. They immediately spread it wide but the ball is lost after a poor pass, France toe the ball up field and nearly regather it to score, but Foley gets his hands on the ball and quickly clears under pressure.
France form a maul and win a penalty after Kepu enters the maul from the side, Machenaud lines up a kick from 20 out on a angle.
