Allez!!

finally someone converts a kick...

Finalment ça commence Allez les garçons

Jean-Marc Doussain slots that easy kick over. We finally have a score in Paris and its the home side who lead 3-0.

Attack comes to nothing but France will have the chance to take the lead.

France have and advantage and looking dangerous.

Italy offside and Jules Plisson pumps the ball into touch. Lineout for France inside the 22

Has the distance, but drifts wide. Still scoreless here after 23 minutes.

France not rolling away and Italy will have a penalty. Gonzalo Garcia will go for the sticks in a similar position to his first kick.

Italy go for touch. They win the lineout and now set off on an attack.
