Deans: Strong display against French is vital

AUSTRALIA coach Robbie Deans has stressed the importance of tomorrow’s Test with France as the Wallabies look to end their European tour on a high note.

Victories over Wales and Italy went some way towards easing the pain of their defeat to England at Twickenham and a midweek loss to Munster in Limerick, during what has been a mixed month for Deans’ men.

But the Wallabies coach is hoping to bring the curtain down on their trip with an impressive display at the Stade de France against the Six Nations champions.
