    I take back what I said about Canna, he's as poor as everyone they tried last year.

    Not sure that was a high tackle but his fingers looked like they were going somewhere they shouldn't be.

    Picachu off. Thought he pulled up before making that pass. Hands up if he's in your fantasy team :(

    Was trying to decide between him and Parisse.. went with Parisse.. :)

    That was clever of France to take it quickly - try looked simple.

    How bad is Plisson at kicking that they're sticking with Bezy here?

    Neither side seems to have a decent kicker.

    It's still very loose from France but they do look to have a bit more direction about them than they did last year.

    Showing a bit of flair too, but hard to judge against Italy. Strange to see Noves wearing a suit!

    Italy offloading a lot, and most of the are sticking. It's not bad to look at, in general.

    France are playing the type of rugby people really want to see here.

    I desperately hope they do the same next week cos we'll murder them.

    Stupid from Campignaro there to try and reach for the line. Should have recycled it.

    The replay shows Campagnaro was close enough to try and reach IMO.

    I thought he could have got it, worth going for IMO.

    An extra egg for breakfast this morning and he'd have got that extra inch.

    Was it not a double movement though, even if he had got it over? Looked like he moved after he was tackled and then reached?

    Fickou did enough to block his arm from reaching out fully.

    Who does Leonardo Sarto play for? I have vague memories of seeing him play for Zebre at Ravenhill a couple of years ago but I may be wrong about that?

    There's a lot of empty seats. Apparently few seats were sold after the November attacks.

    6 nations needs an Italy side to play well as much as we need France to start playing well.

    Super try. France are really really soft at defending the maul and it's killing them.

    Dreadful from France, amateur defending.

    Jackman laying into the French coaching now, he really has some great inside information.

    Some effort by Italy at the moment, France should really be defending better though.

    Great stuff from Italy but they have so much time and space.

    Typical first day performance by Italy. By game 5 they'll be back to shipping 60 against Wales.
