    It's the first week so there's no way to know really.

    Pretty sure Italy have found some way to clone Parisse. He's everywhere!

    This is great from Italy - capitalising on France's carelessness.

    Beaut of a kick from Garcia.

    Traditionally Italy will give away silly penalties to let the opposition back in the game. Good start from them in defending the lead.

    Has there been a better Six Nations number eight in the Pro era than Parisse?

    What was he saying? word for word please:p

    More or less explaining the process by which the head coach candidates had to present their vision for the job. Noves pitched to the FFR that he intended to use Federation guys on his staff. Now that he has the job, he has some coaches that have never done the job they are doing now before, at any level, i.e., his backs (or defence?) coach has never done that role before.

    Jackman also just said there, that if Bernard Laporte gets the Presidency of FFR, which he is in the running for, Noves may walk, such is the bitterness between them.

    He looks like Stephen Larkham. Maybe they get a FB to kick instead!

    Why are they looking at the grounding? That was never in doubt. Was clearly a suspicious pass in real time and warrants a few more looks on replay.

    Bonneval even had to reach to take the pass.

    Really enjoying this one. Italy clever as well...constant little grubber kicks to keep France well in their own 22. Lovely to see an Italian win!!

    Parisse should go into the hall of fame. One of the greatest 8s of all time.

    That French defence is even worse than against NZ at Cardiff. So passive.

    New Fijian winger looks dangerous.

    You could easily make a case tackle was high but I think he was definitely held in the tackle.

    Thought it was a little unfair on Parisse, Doyle gave a similar very weak high tackle against Italy in the first half.
