The Wallabies suffered a crushing 41-17 defeat against France in Paris, leaving them without a single win in the Rugby World Cup. The hosts were dominant throughout the match, led by star halfback Antoine Dupont. Suliasi Vunivalu scored his first Test try for Australia, but their performance was largely disappointing. The Wallabies' weaknesses included poor goalkicking, an ineffective maul, leaky defense, and shaky lineout. They are ranked eighth in the world but are expected to top Pool C. The defeat marks Australia's worst loss against France since 2012. France is now considered a World Cup favorite.
