French Barbarians - Australia (19-11) Full Match.

The Wallaby XV started well enough, with former Australian captain Ben Mowen crossing for the visitors early.

Mowen’s try came off the back of a couple of good involvements from league convert Koroibete, playing his first professional rugby match since leaving the Melbourne Storm last month.

Koroibete made the tackle, which led to the Wallaby XV winning possession and the Fijian product then threw the final pass to No 8 Mowen to score out wide.

But that was about as good as it got for Koroibete, who lost the ball twice at the breakdown and was quiet out wide.

Australia then lost five-eighth Jono Lance to a suspected broken arm and, with no backup playmaker on the bench, the Wallaby XV lost its shape without someone directing them around.

Former Wallabies hooker Nathan Charles — now playing for Clermont in the French Top 14 — was sent to the sin bin midway through the first half for a high tackle as he and Taqele Naiyaravoro combined to pull down the runaway French attacker.

The Barbarians found no way through the strong Australian defence and eventually opted for a shot at goal, with fly-half Romain Lonca notching their only points of the first half.

Both teams had plenty of chances early in the second half, but it was the Barbarians who got on the board first through replacement playmaker Julien Dumora.
