(Reuters) - France will not let up despite having already secured their passage to next year's World Cup in Qatar and will look to finish qualifying on a strong note against Finland on Tuesday in Helsinki, said head coach Didier Deschamps.

The holders booked a place at the finals with a game to spare after four goals from Kylian Mbappe led them to an 8-0 demolition of Kazakhstan at the weekend.
