They nearly conceded 100 against NZ and are now getting thumped by France If you look back at their 6N’s this year they only lost by 5 to France and the rest of their games were losses by respectable margins The wheels have clearly come off this WC

France are clinical, that last cross kick for the Penaud try was brilliant

French side is very good although their scrum looks anything but authoritative We need to attack their scrum

Jalibert is brilliant. I agree they look less potent today than they did against NZ at scrum time.

I hope that Marius Jonker is not allowed within a million miles of a TMO position for the play-offs!

That disallowed try for Italy in the first half was complete bullshit and he examines every second of footage hoping for some indiscretion. Pathetic from a guy who must love it when he features on TV…..

Yeah I thought Ntamack would be a big loss but as you say Jalibert is classy

Italy where never going to beat France and New Zealand but they shouldn't be loosing by those scorelines to either, something clearly wrong in the Italian camp.
