ITALY and France do battle in Rome as the 2025 men’s Six Nations reaches the halfway point.
The Azzurri are making their mark in this tournament, putting in an impressive display against Scotland before beating Wales in Rome in the second round.
Les Bleus put 43 unanswered points beyond the Welsh in round one, but an inspired English performance saw them beaten for the first time this tournament by Steve Borthwick’s side.
The cards are out of Fabien Galthie’s hand as things stand, but will need his side to build up a head of steam before they travel to Ireland in the fourth round.
