Wallabies coach Dave Rennie made eight changes for the decisive Test against France, including a huge gamble on youth at the base of the scrum, but played down suggestions his team would be affected by the short turn around from Melbourne’s close defeat.
Australia went with a settled 23 in the opening two matches, including just one starting team change, but head to Brisbane with a revamped line up.

As we all sat back and exhaled deeply at another marginal loss it wasn’t just the scoreline that had us all frustrated. Although brilliant in moments, the Wallabies failed in key parts of the game.
Here are four things the Wallabies need to change.
1. Too wide, too early
At the 30-second mark, after a box kick reception, the Wallabies decided to go wide from their first breakdown of the game. An out-the-back play from James Slipper saw Matt To’omua throw a cutout pass to find Marika Koroibete on the sideline.

It was a similar story in the second Test against France in Melbourne on Tuesday, only this time the Wallabiesâ luck ran out.
Once again, Australia came from behind to take the lead, 26-25, for the first time with a penalty goal to five-eighth Noah Lolesio in the 75th minute, only for French fullback Melvyn Jaminet to secure the 28-26 win with a penalty goal two minutes later.
Rennie wanted more accuracy, physicality and a faster start, but the game was almost a facsimile of the Brisbane Test. The Wallabies looked far more effective when they played simply and directly, but got themselves into a lot of trouble when they tried to be too intricate.
