In a spectacular display of offensive prowess, France delivered their finest attacking performance of the year, securing a historic 48-33 victory over Australia at the Stade de France on Saturday. The match, marked by breathtaking tries and relentless energy, saw France achieve their highest-ever score against the Wallabies, while also clinching three consecutive wins over Australia for the first time in nearly five decades. Despite Australia’s spirited efforts, including five tries of their own, they were unable to overcome France’s dominance, culminating in their first winless European tour since 1958 and a record 10th loss in a single year. France’s Nicolas Depoortere shone with his second consecutive brace, while 20-year-old Kalvin Gourgues made a memorable debut, setting up Louis Bielle-Biarrey for a crucial try. Australia’s early brilliance, including a try by Matt Faessler, was overshadowed by France’s relentless attack, which featured seven tries, including a sensational solo effort by Bielle-Biarrey. Despite a valiant fightback, Australia’s exhaustion from previous defeats to England, Italy, and Ireland was evident, as France sealed their victory with decisive plays in the final minutes.
