Jonathan Danty and Gabin Villière scored France’s other tries while Mark Nawaqanitawase, Fraser McReight and Suliasi Vunivalu were the Australia try scorers.
France were on the board after seven minutes with a slick move off the lineout as Thibaud Flament’s catch was swiftly passed down to Antoine Dupont to whip it over to Danty, who burst through three tacklers to go over for a try that looked well-rehearsed on the training pitch. Australia errors allowed Ramos to send over a steady stream of penalties and be 16-5 up at half-time as the Wallabies outhalf Carter Gordon missed three first-half kicks. It took 16 minutes into the second before France scored a second try with Dupont’s clever cross kick falling perfectly for Penaud to dot down and open up a 26-5 lead.
