PARIS :Australia have made five changes to their line-up for the last test of an exhausting year against France in Paris on Saturday.

Coach Joe Schmidt’s side have suffered successive defeats on their European tour by England, Italy and Ireland ahead of the match at the Stade de France.

Schmidt made two changes to the front row with Taniela Tupou returning at tighthead prop in place of Allan Alaalatoa and Billy Pollard taking over from Matt Faessler at hooker.

Nick Frost is back in the second row to partner Jeremy Williams, which allows Tom Hooper to return to blindside flanker in place of Rob Valetini.
