Overview
- France defeated Italy 33-8 at Lille’s Stade Pierre-Mauroy to make it three wins from three.
- The victory included an attacking bonus point, keeping France as the only side still in contention for a Grand Slam.
- Antoine Dupont orchestrated the attack, and Emmanuel Meafou was named player of the match.
- A late reshuffle moved Thomas Ramos to fly-half after Matthieu Jalibert withdrew, and winger Gaël Dréan earned his first cap.
- France visit Scotland on 7 March, when a bonus-point win would secure the title, while a regular win could also suffice if Ireland fail to take a bonus against Wales.
