Goodbye!

That's where we are going to end our coverage — thanks for joining us!

That's 10 defeats for the Wallabies from 15 Tests this year.

It's a record no Wallabies wants to know about, but it needs to be acknowledged.

There will be much soul-searching over the off-season and the Wallabies need to take stock of what went wrong in 2025.

On that note … please, still enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Thanks for following Buddo!

Appreciate you reading along from Sweden, Buddo!

At least we can celebrate the win in the first Ashes Test!

Where to from here for the Wallabies?

The Wallabies deserve praise for not giving up but …

They needed to produce an 80-minute effort if they hoped to compete with France.

There were passages of the match where they had the French on the back foot but failed to capitalise.

And this isn't the first time it's happened this year.

On the issue of discipline — the Wallabies only gave away three penalties in the opening half.

In the second 40?

Ten penalties, including a yellow card.

Poor discipline takes its toll.

Ask any rugby coach at any level — just like defence, discipline comes down to attitude.

Grassroots the key

You've hit the nail on the head Sean — focus on the grassroots.

That's where the future lies.

There's always next year!

Thanks for following Lisa — don't let the Wallabies's loss ruin the rest of your weekend!

FT: FRANCE WINS!!!!

FRANCE TRIUMPHS!

Well done to the hosts, who deservedly won 48-33 against a gutsy Wallabies outfit.

The Wallabies hung in the contest, but honourable defeats count for little.

That's four straight losses for the Wallabies and some unwanted history.

It's the first time since 1958 they have recorded a winless tour of Europe (when four or more Tests have been played).

They have also lost 10 Tests in a calendar year for the first time.

79' FRANCE SCORES!

Maxime Lamothe crashes over and the French score again!

Sustained pressure on the Wallabies's line results in a late five-pointer for the home side.

Thomas Ramos kicks the conversion and the score is 48-33 with under a minute to play.

A potential Wallabies recruit?

Would love to see Reece Walsh playing rugby, Buddo!

77' Three mins on the clock

Full-time is just around the corner but the Wallabies aren't throwing in the towel.

Can they steal a win from here?

76' NASSER SCORES FOR WALLABIES!

A late try to Josh Nasser gives the Wallabies hope!

Tane Edmed is successful from the tee and it's France leading 41-33 in the shadows of full-time.
