Australia started the game as 1000/1 on favourites to beat a France side who were taken apart by an impressive Lebanon in the opening round. Mal Meninga rested a number of players including Cooper Cronk and Dane Gagai, and James Maloney was a late withdrawal due to a ‘personal matter'.
The expected loss for France wouldn't end their quarter final aspirations, so long as England beat Lebanon tomorrow, but they would then need to beat England next weekend.
There were over 12,000 in the Canberra Stadium to cheer on their heroes.
