France coach Herve Renard put little stock in the friendly defeat to Australia a week before the Women's World Cup but the Matildas will seek inspiration from video of the game ahead of their quarter-final on Saturday.
"It was a friendly at the end of the day but for us we learned a lot from that game and now we have images of us versing them in our formation and what we can improve on," winger Cortnee Vine told reporters in Brisbane after training on Wednesday. Australia head into the quarter-final after racking up six goals and two clean sheets against Olympic champions Canada and Denmark.The Matildas welcomed back striker-captain Sam Kerr who came off the bench late against Denmark when the round-of-16 match was all but decided at 2-0.
The forward trio of Caitlin Foord, Mary Fowler and Emily van Egmond have performed well in her absence.Midfielder Tameka Yallop said the Matildas hoped to see more of their"spiritual leader" against France.
