France not driving straight. Canna will have another pop at goal.

Awful pass from Fickou is spilled forward by Bonneval. Italy have the feed inside the 22.

Sarto intercepts Plisson's pass and almost gets away. France are pinged at the breakdown and Canna kicks to touch. LO inside the French 22.

Vakatawa , not great but good try

Plisson kicks off for the second half.

lotta missed points...bring on CASTRO!!!

probably Laidlaw, ford is not that good

That's half time- missed opportunity on the stroke of half time form Italy. It's been an intriguing contest so far. France are playing with good continuity and a refreshing intent to keep the ball alive. They've stretched the Italian defence thin on a number of occasions and you feel that Italy will tire eventually. The visitors have competed brilliantly however and have bounced back after each French blow. Neither kickers have performed so this game will ultimately come down to tries. Stay with us for whats set to be a cracking second half of rugby.

What a game. Italy FTW

How close was that! Great first half. Think Italy have had the better half, But nether team getting the vital points from the kicking tee so far
