Summary
France stunned Australia with a dramatic 42-26 comeback victory, turning a halftime deficit into a crushing 30-point second-half surge. Aaron Grandidier-Nkanang shone with two tries, while France’s relentless attack, fueled by Maxime Lucu’s penalty and four unanswered tries, sealed the win. Despite early setbacks—including a yellow card for Emmanuel Meafou and Australia’s quick tries—France’s resilience and late-game scoring from Ntamack, Verhaeghe, and Theo Attissogbe proved decisive. For Australia, it’s their ninth loss in ten matches, adding pressure on coach Joe Schmidt as they prepare for their final game against Italy before a coaching change.
