The Manu defence leaked seven tries, with a seventh minute penalty kick from Patrick Faapale and Rey Lee-Lo try immediately after half-time all the visitors had to show for 80 minutes.
Alama Ieremia said it was a tough night at the office.
"If you start missing tackles at the top level and turn the ball over at the top level you get punished - especially by a very quality tier one country like France," he said.
That first half we made far too many errors for this level and we learnt a very harsh lesson."
