France improved on their record of consecutive victories that dated back to the 1930s
France, who take on South Africa in Marseille next Saturday, improved on their record of consecutive victories that dated back to the 1930s.
Australia, who had recalled experienced outhalf Foley in August, defended stoutly and attacked when it mattered, only losing their way in the final five minutes. After Foley’s second penalty, France touched down through Charles Ollivon, only for the try to be ruled out for a double movement. Minutes later, Australia effectively scored the first try at the end of a blistering counterattack, Foketi diving over after collecting Tom Wright’s pass inside the French 22.
However, Marchand scored a pivotal try in stoppage-time from a strong ruck and Ramos added the extra points to give France a six-point lead at the interval with the score at 19-13.
