For the third day of the 2024 6 Nations Tournament, the French XV welcome Italy to the Pierre-Mauroy stadium in Villeneunve d'Ascq, this Sunday February 25 at 4 p.m.

Author of two unconvincing outings so far (home defeat against Ireland and narrow victory in Scotland), the XV of France welcomes Italy during this third day of the Tournament with the desire to rediscover the flamboyant game that we knew a few months ago.

The offensive animation was particularly targeted during its performances, the hinge coming under heavy criticism. However, she was brought back to start the match against the Italians. The Transalpines will be keen to erase the heavy setback against Ireland (36-0) two weeks ago.  

For this meeting, Fabien Galthié will line up a classic team with the little surprise Tuilagi in the second line alongside Woki. Note the last minute package from Bielle-Biarrey which is replaced by the Toulouse player Lebel.
