Form Guide
Australia WWWWWW, France LLLWLL
It’s a return to the amateur days of Test rugby as the scarves and jackets are swapped for sunglasses and hats with the return of an afternoon fixture. The Wallabies played Wales at Allianz Stadium at the same time two years ago and while that game failed to deliver a spectacle worthy of the strong crowd, hopes are high that running rugby will dominate this time around.
A dead rubber? Granted, the series is done and dusted. But there’s still plenty for both sides to play for, not least of which the Wallabies who’d hate to see their six-game run come to an end and the momentum of the last few weeks squandered.
France meanwhile are staring down the barrel of a fourth straight loss and won’t want to dwell on that inglorious run while sunning themselves by the beach in Biarritz. Last week’s dour slog infuriated fans at Etihad Stadium but it was a much-improved performance from the visitors and one they’ll look to build on come Saturday. 
The return of Thierry Dusautoir to the pack and Mathieu Bastareaud to the backs stiffened their defensive resolve but the fact they were held to zero for just the fifth time in the last 50 years – and first ever by Australia – is a major concern. We’re always hearing about the French flair – we need to see it on Saturday.
Australia, too, were unable to find the tryline last week and had to rely on a penalty each from Nic White and Bernard Foley to see off Les Bleus in Melbourne. They did score seven tries the week before however, and coach Ewen McKenzie is confident they can again rediscover that impressive attack.
Only a few tickets are left and with a sunny afternoon forecast it could well be a memorable afternoon at Moore Park. 
KEY MATCHUPS
Bernard Foley v Remi Tales
Ewen McKenzie could have been forgiven for giving Kurtley Beale the chance to stake a claim for the No.10 jersey but in a major sign of faith, the Wallabies coach has stuck solid with Foley and anointed him as his first option for The Rugby Championship.
That doesn’t mean Foley is beyond reproach however, and he needs a solid performance this week to repay McKenzie’s belief. France employed a rush defence last week to close down the Wallabies’ options out wide and that combined with Foley’s relatively flat alignment seemed to stutter the No.10’s game.
As well as a rush defense, France defended a majority of the game with the wings up. This opened up a lot of space at the back which wasn’t utilized by Foley. If you can’t go around or through the defense, you have to go over. If France go to this defensive structure again, short attacking kicks behind the line is the way to combat that.
We saw in the first game, an attacking kick inside the 22 nearly lead to a try, only denied by a 50/50 refereeing call. We will need to see more of this from Foley in the third test to avoid another dull affair.
French coach Philippe Saint-Andre has retained Tales at No.10 after a solid outing in Melbourne. The Racing Metro No.10 mixed his game up nicely and provided one of the match’s few highlights when he laid on a break for hooker Guilhem Guirado.
The extra week’s training for Tales, Wesley Fofana and Mathieu Bastareaud should also see the French backs at their best this week, providing they come with an attacking attitude.
Will Skelton v Yoann Maestri
Another week, another Wallaby debutant at lock. This time it’s New Zealand-born giant Will Skelton who at 135kg and two-metres plus has to be among the biggest players in world rugby.
Contrary to popular belief, Skelton has been selected for his skill more so than his size. McKenzie admitted to being impressed with his sleight of hand at the Waratahs, and it’s that offload ability and what looks to be a fine understanding of the game that has many excited.
The structure of the Wallabies lineout will be something to keep an eye on though with Skelton doing little jumping for the Waratahs this season.
On the other side of the ledger is Maestri who lines up in the No.5 shirt for the third straight Test. The French lock had a game-high seven lineout wins last week but his impact elsewhere around the park has been limited.
Look to Skelton for a strong debut.
Our Prediction
With France showing a lot more heart in the second test, we don’t expect this game to be a blow out, but we don’t think it’ll be as boring as the last.
Foley and Toomua showed a lack of experience in how to deal with the French defensive structure, no doubt McKenzie and the Wallabies brains trust have addressed this issue and if France employ the same tactics again, we’ll see some very different tactics by the Wallabies inside backs.
Even with the addition of France’s major attacking weapons, they showed little that threatened the Wallabies.
We think the Wallabies will win by 12
