Six Nations Tournament: France and Italy part in a draw. After their defeat against Ireland in the opening match, and a success against Scotland, the Blues conceded a draw against Italy (13-13) for their third match of the Six Nations Tournament.
The French, reduced to 14 after the exclusion of Jonathan Danty just before the break, could even have lost if Italian fly-half Paolo Garbisi had not missed an easy penalty at the last second. Matthieu Jalibert, injured in the left knee, was also forced to give up his place in the 37th minute of the match.
