    Great refereeing

    McDermott dumb

    Ramos extends the lead just when Aus were getting back in to it

    Fra 16-5 Aus
    36 mins

    @MiketheSnow said in France v Australia -:

    Great refereeing

    Could easily have become a bad, wrong decision. Great vision from the ref (talking about penalty around 35 mins with Kellaway being taken out in the air by McDermott)

      Aus needed that

      Both their wingers have been excellent

        French winger tackled the Aussie center (I believe) while off his feet, could have been penalty try

          Tight call but goes with directive

          Sensible

            Chrissake rugby is really going to have to look at itself after the WC. This level of intervention wont win any new fans. Well handled though by the ref.

              Very weird, I wouldn't say France looks better than the Wallabies but they're leading by 16-5. Gordon's goal kicking the main problem. Aussie winger Vulivulivulivalu looking good

                This refereeing is random. The disparity between the "warm-up" matches has me greatly concerned.

                Also, Aus would be doing better if Gordon could kick.

                  Great defence by Vuni

                  Fra 16-5 Aus

                  Australia should be much closer

                  I’ll discipline and stupid errors gifting France an easier ride

                  Another monster scrum from Aus

                    Fuck

                    They had a chance there and Kellaway dropped it

                      Fra 16-5 Aus
                      Halftime

                      France feeding off Aus mistakes

                      Classic counter punching

                      Aus trying a little too hard but showing how to open up the French defence

                      Making yards at will

                        Australia have been the better team so far but can't kick their penalties. France aren't as good as the Boks based on their last few games.

                          France don't look convincing. Set piece getting bested by Australia and not much else but a very reliable goal kicker so far. Aussies making good metres when they keep the ball in hand, both from staying tight and going wide. Carter Gordon plays as well as his haircut looks.

                            Just watched the first half highlights and that pass from DuPont to Danty for the try looked forward on all angles

                            One that got away from an officiating team which has been the best this Summer IMHO

                                    France upped the tempo there

                                    Silly neck grab from Aus

                                    Ramos misses

                                        Dont know what Aus were thinking there. Let France walk over the top.
