Committed Italian defence so far. Only 3-0 to France after 14 minutes. Visitors have started well.
-
Looks like an Italian try for Menoncello. On field call try. Goes to the TMO.
-
Foot stayed in play, grounding good, try given. What a moment for the 19 year old Italian winger. After 17 minutes Italy are ahead. France 3 Italy 5.
-
Great try
Italy looking balanced across the park
Nothing brilliant (catch for the try notwithstanding) but nothing shithouse either
Female commentator is making my ears bleed
-
Conversation good. 3-7.

I'm listening to the BBC radio commentary instead.
-
Good pressure now from Les Bleus and the Stade de France comes to life.
-
Jelonch in for the first French try after a messy lineout.
France 8 Italy 7
-
Conversation hits the post. Still 8-7 to France. Stade de France a bit happier. Kieron Crowley shaking his head after a bit of chaos from the Italians there. Rain hammering down now.
-
Italy back in front after some poor French discipline and a soft penalty off the kick off. France 8 Italy 10 after half an hour.
-
France was a long passage of attacking play with multiple power runner. Italy give away a back foot penalty. Kick good. France 11 Italy 10 after 34 minutes.
-
Italy are doing really well fair play
I’d be worried if we were playing them today
-
That was dumb shit from Dupont

Whiny voice wrecking anything decent she has to say.
-
Try France by the winger Villiere.
-
Good half
Hard on Italy, should be closer
France to have a couple of Gitanes at the break and then cruise past 50
