Five second-half tries helped France make up for a slow start against Tonga and see them go on to an emphatic 43-8 victory in Toulouse on Saturday. Thomas Lievremont, Aurelien Rougerie, Vincent Clerc (2) and Yannick Jauzion all touched down for the hosts.
And Dimitri Yachvili kicked four penalties and three conversions.
Tonga skipper Viliami Haki's try and Sione Tuipolutu's drop goal restricted France to an 12-8 lead at the break but the tourists failed to score again.
