Key point: In 2027, this match will take place in Italy!
This rugby match is the second for France in 2026 after Ireland. Italy are undoubtedly the weakest nation in the tournament. The French team will nevertheless have to be wary of this transalpine rugby, which has progressed in recent years. Indeed, the blues were beaten by the Italians in 2011 and 2013 in the 6 Nations tournament.
For the record, in 2024 the score was 13-13, so this team is struggling. Stay tuned for the 2026 match.
