The Wallabies have defied 75 minutes with a man off the field, earning a famous 33-30 win over France at Suncorp Stadium to seal the series.

They got off to a horror start after Marika Koroibete was sent from the field in the opening five minutes after a high tackle on Anthony Jelonch.

Despite being down a man, the Wallabies refused to give up, with tries to Tate McDermott and Noah Lolesio leaving the game tied at 20-all.

However, France took the lead after the break from a try to Pierre-Louis Barassi, which was only brief as Taniela Tupou barged over to level the scores.

In the end, a penalty to Noah Lolesio sealed the game and the win for Australia.

However, the Wallabies night got off to what looked to be the worse possible start as Filipo Daugunu came off the field with an injury and a red card to Koroibete after the TMO judged him to have made direct contact Anthony Jelonch’s head.

In other international matches, Samoa beat Tonga 37-15, the All Blacks thrashed Fiji 60-13 and Argentina beat Wales 33-11.
