Welcome to today’s coverage of Australia vs France, live from Allianz Stadium, Sydney. The Wallabies have already won the three match series thanks to a comprehensive 50-23 victory followed by a considerably tighter 6-0 victory last week. France are staring down the barrel of a fourth straight loss, however they will take a lot from a much improved performance last week. Australia, on the other hand, will look to add to their six game winning streak and to continue to build momentum into the Rugby Championship later in the year. Wallaby coach Ewen McKenzie has decided to unleash the 203cm, 140kg Will Skelton at the expense of James Horwill who is joined on the bench by Wycliff Palu who replaces Ben McCalman. French coach Philippe Saint-Andre has made two changes to his run-on side. Fulgence Ouedraogo gets a starting place ahead of Yannick Nyanga while young Hugo Bonneval replaces Maxime Medard on the wing. Can the Wallabies achieve their best winning streak in over 14 years or will France record their first win on Australian soil in 24 years? Ultimate Rugby will keep you up to date throughout the match.
