Welcome to this live broadcast dedicated to the meeting between France and Italy, as part of the third day of the Six Nations Tournament. Disappointing in the first two matches, Fabien Galthié’s Blues want to confirm the success acquired through pain against Scotland (16-20, at Murrayfield).
What is it about ? From a confrontation that has become a classic in the world of sport, between France and Italy. Three months after its elimination in the quarter-finals of the World Cup by South Africa, the XV of France missed its entry into the tournament. The Blues, who crushed their Azzurri neighbors during the World Cup, will have to do without Antoine Dupont – busy preparing for the Olympic Games in rugby sevens – and Grégory Alldritt, injured against Scotland.
Or ? At the Pierre-Mauroy stadium, in Villeneuve-d’Ascq (North).
At what time ? The match kicks off at 4 p.m.
On which channel ? France 2.
