    Surely the pigeons should have made some effort to stop him.

    French pack are messing up a lot of ball at the base for Italy, the Italian forwards need to help Gori more.

    French need to commit more numbers to the breakdown or the Italians are going to continue playing with quick ball and Burton is just gonna sit in the pocket and take 3 every time.

    You can clearly see Brunel's French club influence with all the dropgoal attempts.

    fantastic scrum by France and Malzieu did some dancing to get in.
    Apart from those two moments, Italy have had parity

    Was the second conversion missed? BBC commentary is rubbish...

    Do France have 15 or 17 points?

    He's had a really mixed game mixing some good kicks with some stupid play like that.

    Italy have big questions to answer. Very poor. Handing the game to France.
