9pm local time. Normally a keenly faught fixture from the Azzuri in the 6 nations, but after a humiliation from the All Blacks, will Les Blues be also looking for some fun?

    Is there no penalty for that cultural appropriation by France?

    Genuinely bricking it for this one. Must win game, and Italy will be looking to bounce back from the dreadful showing against the ABs.

      As we say in Scotland: da fash. Italy are spent this tournament, if they keep it under 50 I’ll be surprised

        Italy tend to perform quite well against France , whether that’s cos a lot of them play their club rugby in the top 14 or neighbourly rivalry, I dunno. But that and France seeming to always play to the level of their opponents, I don’t see it being a walkover.

    That was some well executed passage by France. Hope Italy can find some energy and headspace to rally and get in this game.

    What’s the format, top 2 from each pool go to quarter-finals?

      Yes. A vs B and C vs D quarters. 1st vs 2nd
