Eddie Jones' Wallabies will enter the Rugby World Cup<\/a> without a single win after being outclassed 41-17 by rampant hosts France in Paris on Monday (AEST).<\/p>\n

Australia, now 0-5 in 2023, were never seriously competitive against one of the tournament favourites, who were led superbly by star halfback Antoine Dupont.<\/p>\n

Suliasi Vunivalu scored his first Test try and the winger's busy performance was one of the few bright lights for the inexperienced Wallabies.<\/p>\n

Carter Gordon's wayward goalkicking will be ringing alarm bells, along with an ineffective maul, leaky defence and shaky lineout.<\/p>\n

The Wallabies, ranked eighth in the world but favoured to top a weak Pool C, open their campaign against world No.11 Georgia on September 10 (AEST).\ufeff<\/p>\n

"The solutions are going to come from the group – he (Jones) is doing his best for us but we're just letting ourselves down out there," Wallabies vice captain Tate McDermott told Stan Sport's Justin Harrison.<\/p>\n

"There's times where we're walking – you can't afford to walk, particularly in the big games coming up. We've got two weeks to find a solution for Georgia because they're a bloody good side.<\/p>\n

"So we've got to make sure we front there and it's going to start Tuesday when we hit the training paddock."<\/p>\n

Wallabies legend Tim Horan declared France as World Cup favourites after their crisp \ufefffour try performance in front of a bumper crowd.<\/p>\n

It was Australia's worst loss against Les Bleus since 2012 and came at the same Stade de France venue at which they were pipped 30-29 under former coach Dave Rennie last year.<\/p>\n

\ufeffDamian Penaud scored the matchwinner that day and the classy winger tormented the Wallabies again with a brace of tries, including a superb chip and chase that had the fans on their feet.<\/p>\n

F\ufeffrance led 16-5 at halftime and got plenty of impact from their powerful bench in the second term.<\/p>\n

"The scoreboard doesn't reflect it but we put them under a lot of pressure," Wallabies try scorer Fraser McReight claimed.<\/p>\n

"We just let ourselves down in some certain areas… it's going to be a hard road.<\/p>\n
