  1. Australia 21-34 France

    France win a penalty as James Slipper is deemed to have obstructed, and Lucu points to the posts.

  2. Australia 21-34 France

    In a bonus-point update, which matters in this new Nations Championship, France have one in the bag with five tries.

    Australia need one more try to get an additional point.

  3. Australia 21-34 France

    It's going to be ruled out as Matthieu Jalibert's lovely offload is deemed to be forward.

  4. Try review

    Australia 21-34 France

    We're going to the TMO to check another possible French score.

    Was there a forward pass, and did Theo Attissogbe get it down?

  5. Australia 21-34 France

    I'm not sure if France have raised it or if Australia have imploded.

    Probably a bit of both, to be honest.

    Converted Try - Australia 21-34 France

    Florian Verhaeghe (con Lucu)

    One. Way. Traffic.

    France have all the momentum as second row Florian Verhaeghe crashes over under the posts despite the best efforts of Rob Valetini and Fraser McReight.

    Lucu converts.

  7. Australia 21-27 France

    France are back on the Australia line. This is ominous.

  8. Australia 21-27 France

    To add insult to injury, Tom Wright was sent to the sin bin for infringing in the build-up to Grandidier Nkanang's second try.

    So the Wallabies are down to 14 for the next seven minutes or so and all the momentum is with France.

  9. try

    Converted Try - Australia 21-27 France

    Romain Ntamack (con Lucu)

    Romain Ntamack has been fairly quiet today but he gets the ball inside the 22 with a few forwards in front of him.

    He pins back his ears (and mullet), and darts through a gap to score.

    Maximu Lucu converts, and France are back in front.

  10. Australia 21-20 France

    This is really opening up and Dylan Pietsch is nearly caught before he can clear the ball.

    Ryan Lonergan, who Australia really missed after he went off last week, does well to calm everything down and the Wallabies finally manage to clear their lines.

  11. try

    Try - Australia 21-20 France

    Aaron Grandidier Nkanang

    Australia were stretched after Moefana's break and Mattheiu Jalibert chips the ball into the corner for Aaron Grandidier Nkanang to dot down for a second debut score.

    Lucu can't make the conversion and the Wallabies still lead by one.

  12. Australia 21-15 France

    Tom Wright with another try-saving tackle, this time on Moefana.

    But France are coming again!

  13. Australia 21-15 France

    Tom Wright stops Aaron Grandidier Nkanang, who was racing into the 22 after Fabien Baru-Boirie broke clear with a great tackle.

    It looks like France are going to score a certain try but Max Jorgensen hammers Yoram Moefana five metres out, jumps to his feet and steals the ball.

    Big turnover.

  14. Penalty - Australia 21-15 France

    Maxime Lucu

    It's almost on halfway but straight as an arrow. Never in any doubt.

    Maxime Lucu gets the first points after the restart.

  15. Australia 21-12 France

    Forget everything I said, Karl Dickson brings play back for a tip tackle from Max Jorgensen on Theo Attissogbe.

    Romain Ntamack points the the posts and gives the ball to Maxime Lucu.

  16. Australia 21-12 France

    France now have it but this second half is being played between the two 10 metre lines.

    Verhaeghe then gives away a penalty, and Meredith brings Australia in the 22.

  17. Australia 21-12 France

    Fraser McReight rips the ball out of Florian Verhaege's sizeable arms to win the ball back for Australia.

  18. Australia 21-12 France

    It's a scrappy start to the second half as the ball is lost forward on the floor by Australia and France will have the put in.

  19. Kick-off

    Australia 21-12 France

    Off we go!

  20. HT: Australia 21-12 France

    The players are coming back out in Brisbane.

    This should be a good second half.
