Here is our Australian player ratings from the match

1. Angus Bell-6/10 | Strong in the scrums and carries.

2. Josh Nasser -NA. Left the field in the 4th minute

3. Allan Alaalatoa-6/10 | Solid game from the prop

4. Josh Canham-7/10 | The young lock won his own lineouts.

5. Jeremy Williams -7/10 | Physical as ever. No faults

6. Rob Valetini-8/10 | Without him this Australian pack struggles

7. Fraser McReight-8/10 | Two tries from McReights earns him a 8/10

8. Harry Wilson (c)-7/10 | Captain courages. Penalty against him for off his feet in the 2nd half. Strong carries down the touch lines

9. Ryan Lonergan-6/10 | Had clean ball in the 1st half so looked sharp. Not a great 2nd half.

10. Declan Meredith-5/10 | One could see it was his first test. Looked settled at times but a few forces arrors that he would want to fix.

11. Dylan Pietsch-6/10 | Dangerous at times but was exposed on defence

12. Len Ikitau-6/10 |Ikitauu and Suaalii struggled to keep the French backs at bay.

13. Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii-6/10 | Same as Ikitau

14. Max Jorgensen-6/10 | Looked dangerous on attack but missing two tackles against a French team is something you cannot do.

15. Tom Wright-6/10 | Safe at the back but was all over the show when they were on defence. 3 Turnovers conceded.

Substitutes 7/10 | A 7 because most of them were fighting a losing battle the moment they came onto the field. Slipper missed a tackle on Ntamack when he scored, Dauguno missed a tackle on Gourgues for Attissogbe to score. Tupou had a great carry and Paenga-Amoso scored a try.

16. Brandon Paenga-Amosa

17. James Slipper
