If Italy is on paper a team within the reach of the Blues, the French prefer to be cautious before facing the Italians on October 7 in Lyon. Starting with their coach Fabien Galthié who recalled that the last match between the two teams had been “very difficult” for the French XV, with a narrow victory obtained in Rome (24-29).
Not yet qualified despite their three successes in three matches, the Blues can settle for a draw against Italy to retain first place in Group A and validate their ticket for the rest of the competition. A doubly enhanced defeat (by scoring at least four tries and losing by a maximum of 7 points) could even guarantee them access.
