Player ratings for both teams as France cruise to a comfortable victory over Fiji in Lyon.
Despite a few flashes of brilliance from Jake White's side, the visitors struggled to match France's quality over the 80 minutes.
Les Bleus delivered a professional performance to secure a convincing win and build momentum ahead of next week's Springboks showdown.
The hosts took a 23-point lead into half-time, securing a bonus point after an entertaining first half.
Jean-Baptiste Gros opened the scoring before a powerful maul resulted in a penalty try and a yellow for the visitors.
Fiji responded with a penalty, but Sipili Falatea and Aaron Grandidier crossed as France capitalised on their attacking opportunities.
France continued their dominance after the break, with Cameron Woki having a try ruled out for a knock-on.
Kalvin Gourgues extended the lead before a brilliant Antoine Dupont and Louis Bielle-Biarrey combination set up Théo Attissogbe.
Vinaya Habosi grabbed Fiji's first try, but Charles Ollivon added another late score.
The visitors never let up, as winger Selestino Ravutaumada burst through to finish off a move that showcased plenty of Fijian flair, with just minutes to go.
Their defensive frailties showed again though, as Dupont rounded off the scoring with just over a minute to go, taking France over the 50-point mark.
