I'm gonna start jackin it now.
Toomua TRY!!! France wilting under pressure here... can't work out why they kicked for penalty before - Le Bleu aren't gonna win this one on penalties.

What a hell? 11 number touched the ball and ball was on the line, so? If it was attacking team, it would have been try. In defending team case, should it not be 5m attacking scrum?

Last two tries shouldn't have been awarded IMO.
Kuridani pass was clearly forward, and the French winger grounded the ball in goal - as Wertas says... if that was in the Aus in-goal it would have been awarded as a French try.
Australia dominant though.

I'm really surprised by the average effort from the French pack basically allowing Aus to play their game and if anything Aus has the edge in the set pieces as well. With such a platform look out, it could get ugly. TMO making two very dubious calls in favor of Aussie for the last 2 tries it has to be said. But then again you can't just say the points 'should' be subtracted as Aus are on the front foot and look like scoring so if not a try there, then a try off the 5m scrum etc. so no real harm done IMO.

The body language from the French is shocking. Michelak shaking his head, Machenaud playing with his hair. So frustrating if you're a supporter.

I don't think it was clearly passed forward. It was a 50:50 whether it was passed forward in my opinion hence the right call was (eventually) made.

OMG!!! Someone said that Wallabies back line isn't dangerous? Wacht out, All Blacks!
18 phases and France ended up losing ground... They're just not in this.

Agreed, Mas is having a shocker at scrum time.

The Wallabies will find it a lot hard to score when the opposition actual plays some defense. Like last season the only player in the Wallabies backline that will really worry the AB's is Folau (and Ashley-Cooper if he plays at 13)....
To be fair, France just haven't turned up today, so it's hard to know how good we'll be in the RC. The England V All Blacks match was much higher intensity, even if it was full of knock ons.

I seriously understand FrenchFan in these situations...you see all this talent for France, how exciting they can be in the Top 14...you just want the Top 14 to start, watch some club Rugby...
just wtf, France. Lethargic. We look the worst.

I couldn't see the ABs game (I was sleeping) I will see the game in 5 hours, but 4 tries against a Tier 1 team in 40 minutes isn't easy. C'mon bud!

Aussies, just score another 2 or 3 and let's call it a day, thank you very much...I think the whole world has seen enough.

That was a clear penalty try for me. No way was he onside.

And what about Toomua in defense? What about Kuridrani? Izzy Dag this year is a crappy IMO.
