Parra in front of the posts.

Judgement Day

Allez les Aussies. Looking good, I reckon it won't be long before French heads go down!

10-3!!!

cson

Jesus the Aussies are killing them at the breakdown.

is he even old enough to get a beer in the states yet?

o connor isnt!

corny

French seem a bit complacent.

thomond2006

Traille at 10, Jauzion at 12 and Rougerie at 13. Huge midfield.

thomond2006

Jesus I was sure that was over.

Still 3-10.

thomond2006

Parra scores this time.

6-10

Just. 22 since April I think.

O'Connor is a veritable child.

So is Parra actually; he's only 22 iirc. And only 12st too.

Crazy! :pac:

efb

I watching le France!!!

cson

Les Bleu are some sight in full flight.

cson

Wallabies turning the screw somewhat.

corny

French tackling is awful. A much lighter pack bullying them.

thomond2006

Lawrence played advantage for ages there.

Should be 3 for the Wallybees.

Edit: JOC scores. 6-13.

cson

Yellow coming soon for continually infringing.

Silly stuff.

cson

Poor enough rugby but an oddly compelling game.

France 5 metres out; destroying Aussie Scrum. Gotta think 7 is coming here.

thomond2006

Surely penalty try coming up here.

Edit: Try given and Alexander is in the bin. 13-13

cson

Peno try given.

Yellow to an Aussie Prop.

Ooooooo

efb

Love France to upset NZ next year!

cson

I'll make a call here and say France will rip them a new one when/if they turn it over here. Can see at least 7 points for the French before Alexander comes back on.

13-13

Quade Cooper with an excellent territorial kick inside French 22.

handsomecake

spear tackle on pocock from the right winger no?

Australia's back play....*drools*

cson

Wow, the Aussies have upped it. They've taken the initiative since the Penalty Try & Yellow and are all over France. :eek:

Which team is down to 14 men?

cson

Some chip that was from Berrick Barnes.

Then again, Stade de France is no Thomand Park

Judgement Day

Ref needs to go to Spec savers - early French engagement and he penalises Aussies. :rolleyes:

cson

Ouch.

Parra felt that. Pretty brave of him for a small lad though tbf.

cson

Jesus that was idiotic from Porical. Time up and he decides he wants to play it from his own try line. :rolleyes:

thomond2006

13-13

I think Australia will take it, as long as there are few scrums.

thomond2006

Someone in the crowd shining a laser at James O'Connor, disgraceful. :mad:

thomond2006

16-13, Parra pen.

On another note, ffs Linehan his name is Porical, not Porticall. :rolleyes:

He's an idiot is Linehan.

Bastard-oh [Bastareaud] :rolleyes:

cson

Btw anyone know where Harinordoquy is?

Try from the Wallabies, Ben Robinson. Pretty much on the cards, French atrocious in defence.

16-20

Judgement Day

Great try from Aussies and O'Connor knocks it over 20-16 to Australia.

Judgement Day

Genia in for a try and it's all over!

cson

Ashley Cooper slicing through the French. Genia finishes it off.

16-27

Could be a bit of a beating for the French here if they don't get their act together. That Aussie backline is on fire.

subfreq

THis is where the pace of the game will move away from France.

Been a belter of a second half.
