Australia have ended a European tour winless for the first time in 67 years after a 48-33 defeat by France at the Stade de France.

It was the Wallabies’ fourth defeat of the autumn after losses to Italy, England, and Ireland – and their 10th of the year. And it is the second week in a row where Australia have conceded more than 40 points, following their 46-19 defeat by Ireland last Saturday.

This defeat marks a historic low for the Wallabies, who had not lost 10 Tests in a calendar year before.

It means Coach Joe Schmidt, who will depart after July’s Nations Championship, now has a win percentage of under 40%.
