Thanks.

Won't be watching though if it's on that. I realise it's a warmup but people would watch these games if they were easily available.

Italy score 5-7 after 20 mins

Edit a second yellow card for the Frenchies

That's not a penalty try. I love France, but come on.

 

[Ferrari333SP]

Terrible call

 

[Simon the kiwi]

France 12 vs Italy 7 any penalty try to France Italian player Bailey tackled French wing Italian player gets Yellow card so far crazy game

 

[General Melchett]

I'd love to know what Conor O'Shea could do with a tier one side. He's definitely made Italy a lot more competitive. I hope he gets his chance.

 

[TheOvalBall]

Huget must be a soccer player who is playing rugby.

 

[TheOvalBall]

That was chaotic... but fun. lol

 

[TheOvalBall]

That was a lovely try by Italy.

 

[TheOvalBall]

Italy are so messy with ball in hand.

 

[TheOvalBall]

France win, but cannot really read anything into this performance.
