Welcome to the Evening Standard’s live Six Nations commentary of France vs Italy.
The second round of fixtures concluded in Paris this afternoon as Les Bleus beat the Azzurri 35-22 to make it back-to-back triumphs under new head coach Fabien Galthie.
Italy were much improved after a 42-0 shellacking on opening weekend, yet were powerless to prevent their run of Six Nations defeats from stretching to 24 matches. They have not won a game in the tournament since 2015.
On Saturday, England battled to a Calcutta Cup victory in stormy weather against Scotland at Murrayfield after Ireland ended Wales' hopes of a second successive Grand Slam in Dublin.
