Aussies not to underestimate French
June 23, 2008

VETERAN prop Matt Dunning has warned his Australia teammates to underestimate the second-string French tourists at their peril in Saturday night's rugby Test at ANZ Stadium.

Bracing himself for a tougher night at the office than in the Wallabies' hard-earned 18-12 victory over Ireland nine days ago, Dunning admitted he was not at all surprised to hear the visitors would target Australia's forwards.

"From the footage I have seen, the props they've picked are very good scrummagers. They're a very good scrummaging pack, so I think scrum and maul they're going to be very strong on and that's where they'll take us on," he said.

"They'll probably see that as their chance."
