PARIS (Reuters) -France beat Australia 48-33 in a see-saw match to end the Wallabies' first winless tour of Europe in 67 years, spoiling Joe Schmidt’s farewell test as both teams closed their Autumn series at the Stade de France on Saturday.

Les Bleus, whose November campaign produced mixed results, alternated moments of attacking flair and periods of costly indiscipline, repeatedly allowing Australia back into a match that fluctuated throughout.
