The only reason I give Australia the edge against France in this game: Lang Park aka Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane Australia. It's nicknamed 'The Cauldron" for a reason as it can quickly turn into (and does very quickly during State of Origin...those who know, know) one of the most intimidating places to play. I'd almost be willing to debate it may end up being the most intimidating atmosphere France might ever play in.
The organizers got the right venue for Australia to play in for this quarterfinal. I expect the Australian fans to lift them and the home side to sneak into the Semi-Finals.
