10-3 at half time and Danty tackle under review
France have no shape to their attack
Danty red card
Danty now has 2 reds and 2 yellows this season so far.
Completely idiotic tackle. No-one to blame but himself.
I still dont know why they talk about mitigation. The hit was always illegal so mitigation isnt taken into account anyway according to the framework...at least the right outcome was reached.
Seems to have potentially woken France up from their stupor however.
Looked like a very high hit from Tuilagi there too.
Carley screwing Italy out of a 50/22 there. Looked clearly over the 22.
Neither team seem capable of going through more than 2 or 3 phases without making a mistake
13-6 to France after an hour and neither side look capable of scoring a try from open play.
Very poor quality
Dreadful rugby all round.
I can't really believe what has happened to France. Going into the RWC there was a level of consensus that they were the best side in the world. They've fallen so far from that now.
Has to be acknowledged they're missing some of their top players (Alldritt, Dupont, Ntamack the most notable + a few others I think) but a nation with their depth should be able to absorb the losses better than they have.
Trojan defending by Italy in the first half.
Jalibert butchered a lot of chances before he went off, with danty red carded this game is there for either team to win in the last 20 mins.
That French knock on looked deliberate, would have expected a penalty there rather than a knock on advantage.
Just goes to show that you should never believe what the media tell you!
I also believe what my eyes told me, we saw them beat NZ, SA, win a Slam in 2022, etc.
Yeah, but I think it shows how much their game revolved around Dupont. They're not the same team without him.
1 year, what about the other 3?
Dreadful 6 nations...
Try of the tournament
Lovely play from Italy there tbf. From deep in their own half to score a try and a chance to go level.
13 all
10 min left
Level. Game on.
Italy deserve to be in this game, their starting no.9 is a fine player, never seen him before.
13-13 in Lille with 10 minutes to go. Nice Italian try and conversion.
Where was the knock on there?
Great game!
Great finish, great game naaah
This is a belter of a game, cmon Italy!!
Absolute scenes.
oh my word !
Galthie is gone if Italy makes this kick.
