Italy v France 23.02
Italy v France (Kick-off 3.00pm). Jill Douglas presents coverage of the concluding match in the third round of fixtures, which takes place at Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Italy narrowly missed out on a historic victory at Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Lille last year when Paolo Garbisi's injury-time penalty hit the post after the ball fell off the tee and resulted in a rushed attempt to beat the shot clock, and the encounter ended in a 13-13 draw. The previous meeting in Rome two years ago also appeared to be going in favour of the Azzurri as they led 24-22 in the second half, only for a Matthieu Jalibert try to dash their hopes in a 29-24 loss. With analysis from Brian O'Driscoll, Jamie Roberts and Benjamin Kayser, pitchside reports by Gabriel Clarke and Sergio Parisse, and commentary by Miles Harrison, Nolli Waterman, and David Flatman
