Italian midfielders know how to step as they break through midfield but pass goes astray and France recover in their 22. Relieving kick to touch just short of halfway.
-
Parisse & Co know how to wind up the judging by the smile on Parisse's face as they win a penalty. <br><br>
Italian 10 misses. Nothing going through the sticks today. It'll have to be won by tries. <br><br>
Still 10-8 with two minutes to the break. -
Italy go through the phases and make a break through midfield. Italian dots down but is inches short. France clear. Half time.<br><br>
Good game so far. -
The attack is decent enough from both sides. The defence, hmmm. The goal kicking...

Junior level. The first miss by Bezy was atrocious. Atmosphere and occasion nerves. -
So pot hale. Is Schmidt a poor selector?<br><br>
A 13 at 12, a 15 at 13, and a 14 at 15 for this weekend. -
And Canna finally nails a kick to put Italy back in the lead. <br><br>
Fra 10-11 Ita. 45 mins -
And Canna does the double with a try. Parisse leads the troops on another attack and quick hands and passes puts Canna through eventually. <br><br>
Canna lines up conversion and nails it again. <br><br>
Zero to hero for the Italian 10. <br><br>
Fra 10-18 47 mins -

Who knows, BT? A lot of head-shaking going on here. <br><br>
Zebo has been FB however quite a few times for Munster and Ireland at this stage. He seems to really have the love for Payne in midfield. -
Every now and then Parisse has a match where he gets very little wrong. Superb display today.
-
Noves staring down the barrel at the moment.<br><br>
France losing at home to Italy - again. -
Parisse is one of the all time great 8. Could have played for NZ.
-
And his players finally respond. Great finish in the corner and Bezy converts. <br><br>
Fra 17-18 Ita -
And Plisson nails a penalty in front of sticks for France to take the lead again <br><br>
France 20-18 and ten minutes to go. -
Be ironic if a game plagued by shite kicking in the first half is settled by a kicking duel in the last 10 mins
-
And another quick exchange of penalties <br><br>
23-21 -
Zinzan > Sergio. Scientifically proven.
-
Lucky escape. Parisse called the DG to himself??<br><br>
Haimona wouldn't stand up???
