The week before, Wales rather struggled against Italy, who were not going to let the Welsh win so easily. But luckily, Wales just managed to get ahead again in the last few minutes of the game. The next day, France were trod over by England, who put on one of their best performances in some time, while the French were running around like headless chickens trying to sort out the wine and cheese party they were going to have in the second half. But the French did get two tries in that half, so I guess they couldn’t find any 1961 Burgundy Pinot Noir, just gave up and remembered why they were there in the first place.
However, in this game, France were all over the Italians. It was quiet for the first quarter, until France scored three great tries in six minutes, and then went to score more in the second half. Italy only managed to get one towards the end, but that was it for them… oh, and a penalty they scored earlier, too! But the Azzuri had a couple of good chances, but it’s the same thing that happens all the time when they get close to the line… they either fall or fumble the ball at the most crucial moment.

In the end, France finished off the game with 50 points, and Italy only had 8 and also the winners of the Wooden Spoon. It was a vast improvement from the week before, but it did mean that it made things more difficult for Wales because of the points differences.
