Tighten your boots up fellows lots of Rugby today

Game Tracker/Summary

quote:

The French team take to the field to huge cheers from a healthy travelling contingent - no doubt mostly made up of fans desperate to see a win after that shocking French defeat on this ground two years ago.

quote:

France fly-half Frederic Michalalk gets the game under way by putting his kick straight out - not a great start for the visitors!


Here we go.....

quote:

France playing in deep royal blue today, with Italy all in white - and it's Italy who get an early penalty just behind half-way. They'll kick for a good touch here.

France pushing forward with the advantage
as the #8 Picamoles lunges across
dragging 3 defenders with him for the TRY!

The point after is no good
Italy 7-5 France

After what looked like a TRY from the French,
the TV review over ruled it, giving them the advantage, and the scrum.

A quick penalty from Italy, allows France to convert an easy kick

13-8
29th minute

TRY TO FRANCE! Wonderful work by Huget returning the punt and he delivers a perfect final pass to Benjamin Fall who is in under the posts!

Michalalk pops over the simplest of conversions, and France now leads 15-13


with 5 minutes left before half

Huge Italy mistake from the scrum as Lo Cicero fails to bind properly -
and France #10 Michalak has a chance to land a penalty from 40m, and out on the 15m line on the left.
It's good

Italy 13-18 France
in the 50th minute
