France, France… the best attacking side in the world. They completely blew Australia away in the second half. They play at such incredible speed—it’s seriously impressive. Rennie’s All Blacks can get close to that level, but there’s still some way to go.

The French bench made a massive impact as well.

Credit to the Wallabies—they were brave and made the most of their opportunities in the first half while conceding very few penalties. But after the break, they got struck by lightning. Their bench is still lacking.

They’re also missing genuine world-class players in key positions, especially at fly-half. Their tight five isn’t particularly impressive either, apart from Bell.
