Straight from the 22 dropout, Italy give away a penalty as Tomasso Iannone tackles off the ball. Silly penalty. France go for the posts again.

Godoooo

Awful kick from Doussain. Well wide. Remains 0-0.

Advantage comes to nothing. Parisse again the man penalised. France go for the sticks.

France have an advantage as Italy in the side. Currently inside the 22.

France seen most of the early ball here. They get the first penalty of the game as Sergio Parisse knocks on the ball purposely and Plisson pumps the ball into touch.

Italy get us underway.

National anthems done. France playing in white today, while Italy remain in their traditional blue.

Teams are out for the National anthems. Kick off is moments away.
