PARIS (Reuters) - Inspiration and determination helped France take revenge against Australia with a 29-26 victory at the Stade de France on Saturday as Les Bleus look set to end a miserable year on a high.

Philippe Saint-Andre's team, who had conceded 95 points in three away defeats against Australia in June, were ultra focussed this time and tries by Sebastien Tillous-Bordes and Teddy Thomas as well as the boots of Camille Lopez and Rory Kockott gave them a deserved win.
