The Australian Opals continue their Olympic campaign against France early Monday morning.
After bouncing back from their opening game loss to Nigeria with a gritty 70-65 win over Canada, the Opals kept their hopes of qualification for the knockout rounds alive.
A win over France will seal the Opals spot in the next round, however, they can still qualify as one of the two best third-place teams. With a 2-0 record already, the France — the host nation — has already punched their tickets to the next round.
