The French rugby team painfully imposed itself, Sunday February 5 in Rome, against Italy 29-24 for its entry into the running in the Six Nations Tournament, of which it is the defending champion.
The Blues, very undisciplined, suffered but still won the offensive bonus point, a makeshift before the perilous trip that awaits them in Dublin next weekend against Ireland.
"There's nothing to jump about after this victory. We were too undisciplined, we have to shoot more than twenty penalties, we know very well that at this level it's not playable and that we'll have to very quickly rectify the situation", immediately reacted Antoine Dupont, scrum half of the XV of France.
"We will try to be positive but obviously today there are a lot more negatives than positives. And when we see the score and the scenario, it could have been worse".
