France scored three second half tries to ease past Italy with a comfortable 30-10 victory in Paris earlier today. Louis Picamoles, Wesley Fofana and Hugo Bonneval all scored within ten minutes of one another, as France turned the screw and showed a clinical side that they lacked in the first half.
The match ended on a fairly dull and sour note however as two players were red carded for head butting as a scrum broke up. Rabah Slimani and Michele Rizzo were both sent off by referee Jaco Peyper, who referred to both the TMO and touchjudge Craig Joubert for advice.
