Best Italian performance in the 6 Nations for a few years. Brave stuff.
This is their year.

Italy's discipline has been really impressive so far.

Italian 12 has been good
Deserves to get the bounce of the ball

Wokey MOTM for me

Kick over. France 37 Italy 10. Final whistle.
Italy brave, France classy.
Weather the leveller. On a dry track the French go past 50. Maybe 60.
That said, Italy were worth the price of admission. The starting hooker was a pest at the breakdown and besides maybe a bit of fitness, they were solid.

One can't help but feel Italy would be a much more competitive team if they made better decisions individually, rather than putting their teammates under pressure.
France? Well France continue to impress. We shall see how good they're building next weekend when they take on the other impressive team from the weekend. I get the feeling France will contain Ireland's attack a little better than Wales did.

thanks to everyone here for match commentary, precise but informative. Sounds like a good game to watch.
