That all comes from Tom Wright’s booming 50/22 kick.
The Wallabies had one minute left without Manny Meafou and took full advantage, mauling for the lineout and Fraser McReight powers over for his second try.
That’s two tries, both from McReight thanks to Meafou’s sin binning. 14 points in total. This will not last and prepare for the French response.
The Wallabies do brilliantly to hang on with McReight heroic in beating Jalibert in a foot race. France had an opportunity to take three points in front of the posts, but went for gold, the Wallabies maul held up and they hang on.
Huge moment in the game, unlike against Ireland, the Wallabies hang on. A manic game, how good is Test rugby.
