France vs Australia free streams: How to watch Autumn International 2025

Joe Schmidt’s reputation is riding on Australia’s 2025 Autumn Internationals final with France in Paris. After barely scraping past Japan, they have lost three in a row in Europe – it is 67 years since the Wallabies last suffered a four-match European whitewash. However, recent evidence suggests that France is not what it used to be.

Schmidt, who will step aside for Queensland Reds coach Les Kiss next year, looked like he had made serious inroads at the 2025 Rugby Championship, but over the past few weeks the Wallabies have been atrocious. Their latest defeat, a record 46-19 defeat at the hands of Ireland, saw them fail six of their own lineouts, four inside Ireland’s 22-yard line, and continue to wilt under the high ball.
