Wallabies Must Beat France or Risk All

Published July 9, 2026 · Updated July 9, 2026 · The Guardian

With only one win in their last nine Tests, the Wallabies face France in Brisbane Saturday needing to stop losing gallantly and find a ruthless edge.

The Wallabies' 31-33 loss to Ireland last weekend highlighted their recent struggles, with Dave Rennie's team needing to change their approach against world No.4 France. With home World Cup humiliation looming in 14 months, honourable defeats no longer suffice. esporist.com

While France will be without record-breaking winger Damian Penaud, they welcome back nine game-fit stars from the Top 14 final. The Wallabies must win to avoid losing everything in their Nations Championship campaign.
