    Why are they looking at the grounding? That was never in doubt. Was clearly a suspicious pass in real time and warrants a few more looks on replay.

    Bonneval even had to reach to take the pass.

    Has there been a better Six Nations number eight in the Pro era than Parisse?

    That's a couple of mighty clearing kicks from Plisson.

    Really enjoying this one. Italy clever as well...constant little grubber kicks to keep France well in their own 22. Lovely to see an Italian win!!

    Vakatawa is something else - speed and power.

    Parisse should go into the hall of fame. One of the greatest 8s of all time.

    That French defence is even worse than against NZ at Cardiff. So passive.

    New Fijian winger looks dangerous.

    This is the real test for Italy now - fitness and discipline crucial. C'mon Italy!

    You could easily make a case tackle was high but I think he was definitely held in the tackle.

    Thought it was a little unfair on Parisse, Doyle gave a similar very weak high tackle against Italy in the first half.
