Beauxis put France 9-5 ahead in the 43rd minute after Easter was again penalized, but Wilkinson cut the deficit four minutes later as Les Bleus infringed in defense after Lewis Moody charged down Yannick Jauzion's chipkick.
The game came to a dramatic conclusion when Walder's chip-kick to the corner looked to be covered by Geordan Murphy before it sprang up and over the Ireland full-back's reach.
