Match prediction 18 of 18 of our Summer Internationals 2023 betting series.
Steven's prediction accuracy 2023: ✔️ 89.29%.
The last match of the Summer Internationals 2023 has quickly come upon us. The competition has been a fantastic segue into the Rugby World Cup that starts in two weeks' time, and the final match of the competition will be France v Australia at the Stade de France in Paris on Sunday, the 27th of August. Kick-off will be at 4.45 p.m.
The man in the middle will be New Zealand's own Ben O'Keeffe, who has already had a few run-outs as referee in the Summer Nations Series, having looked after Scotland v Italy and Scotland v France. With a wealth of experience, Ben has this year become the second-most capped Kiwi test referee, with over 30 international rugby matches to his name.
Since 1928, the France v Australia test has been played 59 times, with Les Bleus winning 20, Australia grabbing 29 Ws, and two tests being drawn. In their last clash, France squeaked a 30-29 win at home. History seems to be whispering in punters' ears that this will be a close game, but I may have a few controversial ideas for the history books. Read my full thoughts on France v Australia below.

🔍 France v Australia Match Winner Prediction
France are one of the favourites to win the Rugby World Cup 2023. Australia is going through an Eddie-Jones transformation - for better or worse - and big change can be unsettling for any team. For me, I can't see anything but Les Bleus throwing the kitchen sink at the Wallabies. Their wish to put a mark in the sand in terms of their claim to win the Webb Ellis Cup will mean they will play their hearts out from start to finish - and big effort often leads to a big scoreboard difference. I would love to see the Aussies put on a good show, but I think they will fall foul of the French by 18 points.
✔️ France v Australia Betting Tips
1️⃣ Match Winner: France to Win
Unlike for my Italy v Japan prediction, I won't be going against the bookies' favourite this time. France are the well-deserved number three in the world, and they will show on Sunday why. Do I think France to win at 1.16 at Luckster Sports is a bet worth having, though? The potential return is a little lower than for what I would normally aim, but I like the look of this one, and, despite the look I can imagine on my fierce-England-fan-of-a-wife's face, I think I would be tempted to back France for this one.
2️⃣ Handicap Winner: France to Win (-16.5)
France v Australia is going to be like the tale of Saint Daniel in the lions' den for the Australians, except that there will be no divine help this time. The Wallabies are walking into the rugby equivalent of a ferocious lion's maw, and there will be a big score - I am predicting 18 points difference. With that in mind, should you think like me, your best option may seem to be France to win (-16.5) at 2.07 at TonyBet Sports.
3️⃣ Both Halves: France to Win Both Halves
Les Bleus are going to be on the warpath from the first whistle, but will they dominate both halves? I would say it's unclear. I think Australia also have a lot to prove this match and will put up a good fight - at least in the first half. I think crucial points will be scored by France in the second half, which will be the key to the break-down of the Wallabies in the end. For those that think the Aussies' psyche will be gone before 40 minutes with no sign of a recovery, France to win at 1.36 at BoyleSports may be worth consideration.
