60 seconds for Italy to give us something to cheer?
Ach, France get the BP with a fourth try, well played. Messy cross field kick but it worked and first cap debut Drean gets a try.
Valiant 60 odd minutes from Italy.

France in control 19-8 at the break. They're so much better than Italy that they're losing a bit a discipline and getting a little too Harlem Globetrotterish. This has the potential to bring Italy back into the game. Italy have one big weapon: the scrum. Let's see if the coaching team are smart enough to exploit it somehow in the 2nd.

Neti on for Gros, not sure why, with just a minute or to to go in this half.
Italy have moves and form, but need some new tools to pick the lock on France defense. Hopefully coach has some thoughts in the changing room. I anticipate a different Italian team in the second half.
Wheeeee, very fun first 40 minutes.
19 to 8 is respectable, France seem to be in full on experimental mode which might continue to open some opportunities for Italy.
Lots to come, Italian scrum looking like a useful option, Italy need to continue finding ways to pressure France.
Still anyone's game IMO.
