After a first period completely missed, the XV of France under 20 returned to wear to defeat Italy (31-19), Friday in Aix-en-Provence for the second day of the Six Nations Tournament.

Picked cold by two consecutive tries to touches lost by the three-color alignment (12-0, 12th), the Blueberries did not pass on the scoreboard until the 70th minute, then scored a fourth try after the siren following a huge outburst of energy.

The reigning double world champions remain in the race for the final victory in the tournament despite their inaugural defeat in Grenoble against England (29-24).

The English and the Irish nevertheless took off thanks to their respective victories in Scotland (21-17) and against Wales (36-22).

On the next day, February 21, the Blueberries will travel to Wales.
