Crushing win over Italy
France opened the defence of their RBS Six Nations title with a crushing five-try win over a disappointing Italy at the Stadio Flaminio in Rome. Italy had been thought capable of springing a shock, but the home side failed to convert chances into points.
Tries from Christophe Dominici, Cedric Heymans and Sebastien Chabal put France in a commanding 17-3 lead at the break.
It was more of the same in the second half, with Chabal crossing again before Yannick Jauzion added a fifth.
