Both teams head into the middle fixture of the Southern Hemisphere Series still reeling from agonizing defeats in Round 1. Australia lost 33-31 to Ireland in Sydney as replacement fly-half Ben Donaldson missed a last-gasp penalty, denying the Wallabies a first victory over the Irish since 2018. Donaldson will be unable to make amends against France after suffering an injury, which means Declan Meredith starts at No.10 on his Test debut. Tom Wright replaces Carter Gordon in Australia's other change.Six Nations champions France fell just short of only their fifth win on New Zealand soil, losing 34-32 to the All Blacks in Christchurch.
