England have won 263/5 after 46 overs and 2 balls, ended up winning even easier than I though in the end

Don’t know but they beat them at home in the 6 Nations in 2011 and 2013 so it is not uncommon for Italy to beat France in 6 Nations. Think France will squeak home in the end.
Try Bonneval, France!
TMO
Try is awarded…
Good try France as Italy halfbacks both went to high in defence
Nakatawa one of the few French players playing well
Italy 18 / 17 France
There is something different about this crowd normally they would have started booing their team with them trailing for so long, now after the try there is only 1 point in it and the crowd sound very happy
37 @ Bullscot:
Strong bugger for a wing!
Hi all sien die cheetahs het die bulls geknyp in hulle friendly 28-10 bulls twee straf deiee afgestaan…. Weet nie waarvoor nie
See online Dries v Schalkwyk is on for Italy must have missed it on the TV, is he on?
32 @ grootblousmile:
Going through quite a long bad patch unfortunately.
41 @ smallies:
Ja… was maar ‘n kakkerige Bulls span wat gespeel het… maar dis steeds ‘n verloor!
43 @ Bullscot:
Yip!
Phew dicey pass that France got away with
Great ground gained by France after that pass
41 @ smallies:
Hoe hang die balle, Smallies?

Scrums… Dean is nie eers daar nie en kruger van die veld af… Seker nogsteeds als hulle skuld.
Good Italy defence…

The Bulls posted that those penalty tries were given after scrums other than that don’t know exactly what went wrong for the tries other than Cheetahs must have had a big upperhand in the scrums to get the tries
Just seen Dries v Schalkwyk now, and then he takes the lineout for Italy
@ grootblousmile:
Was die cheetahs se B-span ook daai straf driee tickle my Franco het gese daan human het hulle hele scrum tegniek verander met meer aksent op die agterste vyf, nou wonder ek maar net
v Schalkwyk gives away a penalty at the ruck
Plisson going for posts from almost straight in front just outside 10m line and it is easily over good kick
@ Bullscot:
Het gedink dis dal die geval
France 20 / 18 Italy
56 @ smallies:
eish man I saw us struggling in the scrums against Saracens just over a year ago in preseason game we went to down there and it still seems to be a problem, hopefully once we settled on a first choice scrum it will be better. Geluk met julle wen.
Looks like France might now eek out the win…
Picked France by bloody 18 on SuperBru!
59 @ grootblousmile:
Hahaha now why did you do that?
