Despite improved showing, Australia fall 48-33 to Les Bleus in Paris

Wallabies make unwanted history with first winless Europe tour in 67 years

Pressure continues to mount on the beleaguered coach Joe Schmidt after the Wallabies ended a disastrous spring tour with a damaging 48-33 loss to France in Paris.

Despite a vastly improved showing after insipid displays against England, Italy and Ireland, the Wallabies have now endured a winless four-Test tour of Europe for the first time since 1958.

Perhaps even worse, Schmidt’s side are now also the first Australian outfit to lose 10 Tests in a calendar year as the mentor’s winning percentage dipped below 40%.
