@BAU; your intentional use of misinformation is noted - the match was played Tuesday night; July 13th and before anyone knew that a lockdown would be recommended by Victorian health experts.
Note that meetings were held throughout Wednesday night and Thursday morning to consider the spread of the virus following two seeding events from NSW and that situation and that the decision was made public late Thursday afternoon when case numbers had risen to 18 for this outbreak.
Please provide links for what you've misinformed us about that you allege happened at that Australia vs France game last Tuesday, July 13th since I can find no such speculation.
