SUPERSTAR flyhalf Matt Giteau scored all the points as the Wallabies issued a warning to their Tri Nations rivals with a 22-6 triumph over in-form France at ANZ Stadium last night.
Giteau bagged Australia's only try and nailed a conversion and five penalties in another flawless display of goalkicking as the Wallabies completed their June internationals unbeaten.
Giteau's haul was just three points shy of Matt Burke's all-time record against France, achieved in the 1999 Rugby World Cup final win in Cardiff.
The well-earned victory completed a perfect four-from-four Tri Nations preparation for the Wallabies following earlier wins over the Barbarians and twin successes against Italy.
The Wallabies were eager to step it up a notch ahead their Bledisloe Cup opener with the All Blacks in Auckland in three weeks.
They did just that, keeping Les Bleus who were fresh off an impressive drawn series with the All Blacks in New Zealand tryless to maintain their 18-year domination of France on Australian soil.
