Australia 18 Ireland 12

.......the French, who will play two tests against Australia, are more of an unknown quantity. Marc Lievremont's side are in a transitional period and have included a host of lesser-known players.

But Deans will be ready for them, after consulting with his assistant coach, Jim Williams, who knows the strengths and weaknesses of all the French players through his recent work with Munster. Deans will also be in contact with his former Crusaders assistant coach, Vern Cotter, who is now with the Clermont club in France.

....

Despite the uncertainty over their opponents, Deans will tell his players to stick to the philosophy instilled in them during the week leading up to the Ireland Test. They will be encouraged to continue trusting their instincts.
