Bernard Foley and Nic White’s boots proved the difference for the Wallabies kicking a penalty each in the 53rd and 65th minutes for a 6-0 win.
Morgan Parra and Bruce Dulin missed their own chances for three-pointers earlier in the match for a vastly improved France side.
The Wallabies romped in seven tries last week in a 50-23 first Test flogging after which France coach Phillipe Saint-Andre slammed his team’s performance but he would have been far happier with a 0-0 scoreline at half-time.
Australia wrap up the series win with next week’s Test to come.
