FRANCE GOT THEIR Six Nations title defence off to a winning start after squeezing past Italy 29-24 in Rome on Sunday.
Italy lost as expected but acquitted themselves well against last year’s Grand Slam winners, with Ange Capuozzo’s score before half-time, a penalty try and 12 points from Tommaso Allan ensuring the hosts put up a decent fight. Stephen Varney’s badly timed box kick was charged down by big second row Flament, who had the presence of mind to bring the ball under control before it hit the deck and strolled in under the posts for a try that Ramos converted.
Allan kicked another penalty to half the hosts’ deficit but France had a wonderful third try soon after, Romain Ntamack clipping a perfect kick over to the left flank where Dumortier burst in to dot down for a converted score.
