France 30 - Italy 10

**



France v Italy - Official Short Highlights

***
France made it back-to-back victories in the Six Nations Championship as a second-half stampede saw them ease past Italy 30-10 in Paris on Sunday.
A 9-3 half-time score summed up perfectly what was a dismal opening 40 minutes before the floodgates opened after the break for Les Bleus.
*

Man of the match: Few would have scored the try that Wesley Fofana did. His ability to see space before others was evident when he spotted just that on the blindside of a ruck. Net result, he picked, went and raced over despite the best efforts of covering full-back McLean.
Moment of the match: When the French aren't playing well, they can always look to Louis Picamoles to get them going forward. His try to make it 16-3 with the conversion was key.
Villain(s) of the match: No place for headbutts in rugby. Michele Rizzo and Rabah Slimani.
