France come from behind to defeat Australia in Brisbane, with Aaron Grandidier Nkanang scoring two tries on his debut. Both reports say the winger’s first appearance for the France side proves decisive as France mount a comeback after falling behind during the match. The victory extends France’s ability to respond under pressure, turning the contest around to secure the win.
The match also adds to Australia’s difficulties, with both outlets reporting that the defeat is the sixth successive loss for Joe Schmidt’s team. The game is framed as a continued struggle for Australia as they cannot halt the slide, while France’s turnaround delivers a clear result at the venue.
Across the two accounts, the central themes are the impact of Nkanang’s debut performance—two tries—and France’s fightback that overturns an earlier deficit. The result leaves Australia with another loss and reinforces the current losing run under Schmidt.
