The sides are out for the second half

Italy have turned down a number of shots at goal.

In Super Rugby, a New Zealand Rugby senior scientist concluded that a team has to be scoring from 1 in 3 lineouts to make it valuable to turn down an avgerage kick at posts.

2 - Both of Itay's victories against France in the Six Nations came despite trailing at halftime.

France take a 10-6 lead over Italy into halftime. Italy started strongly and kept the scoreboard ticking over with two penalties for a 6-0 lead, but France hit back with the games first try and kicked a penalty thereafter to take a four point advantage into the break.

Into touch and that will be halftime

Slight knock on and France survive and will have the scrum on their own 5m line, final play of the half
