Italy 24-73 France: Visitors keep alive Six Nations title hopes

France scored 11 tries to thrash Italy in a high-scoring contest to set up a potential Six Nations decider with Grand Slam-chasing Ireland.

The game, with 14 tries, broke the previous championship record of 12 tries in a match, and it was also France’s highest score in the Six Nations.

In a thrilling 52-point first half, Italy opened the scoring through Tommaso Menoncello, but France scored three answered tries to regain control.

Lock Mickael Guillard, hooker Peato Mauvaka and captain Antoine Dupont crossed, before a try by Ignacio Brex gave the hosts hope.

Flanker Paul Boudehent grabbed France’s bonus-point try, with full-back Leo Barre scoring to extend the visitors’ lead.

Fabien Galthie’s side refused to let up in the second ******* and scored again through Gregory Alldritt, Louis Bielle-Biarrey and Dupont.

Paolo Garbisi scored the hosts’ third try, but a ruthless France finished strong as Barre, Theo Attissogbe and Pierre-Louis Barassi all scored.

France’s 73 points is also the second-most points scored by a team in a championship game, after the 80 points scored by England against Italy in 2001.

The results means Galthie’s side sit three points behind Ireland in second place, who they face next in Dublin on 8 March, while Italy travel to face England at Allianz Stadium on 9 March.

Les Bleus, if they are going to win the Six Nations for the first time since 2022, now head to Dublin knowing a victory – given their superior points difference – could put them in pole position for the title.

More to follow.
