Six Nations: the XV de France again beaten by Italy .

Frederic Michalak disappointed after the defeat of the XV of France in Italy during the Six Nations tournament.

 Italy considered the weakest teams in the tournament rugby six nations was immediately beaten France 23-18 in Tournament beginning this Sunday, February 3rd in the Olympic Stadium in Rome. This is the third defeat of the Blues in the history of official contacts between the two countries after the 1997 and 2011 ...

The defeat of the French in Italy March 12, 2011 had the effect of a bomb. Yet the Blues had lost only one point (22-21). This memory makes it even more terrible disappointment of the new XV of France, Italy, beaten 23-18 Input track in the Six Nations this Sunday, February 3.
 
The favorite high falls:

The manager of the XV of France, Philippe Saint-André must be even more stunned, he thought he had made the necessary adjustments. Before the official match, France had a very good figure during test matches last November. Three friendly matches and three wins, including one against formidable Australia. The French then would they underestimated Italy for the first match of the Six Nations they aspired to win a Grand Slam?
We can think saw the beginning of the next match thundering hosts face the Blues completely inhibited. Italy "can be" scoring his first try in the opening minutes (5th) and turn when Parisse ridicules the whole left flank of the French defense.

After waking relapse:

Les Bleus were soon resumed. Evidenced by the two tests they fall in quick succession after the Italians. First, thanks to steamroller exercised by Louis Picamoles passing strength to 11. Then it's Benjamin Fall who scored the second closely following a breakthrough Yoann Huget. These two tests allow the French to win the locker room with the score of 15-13 in their favor. Back on the lawn, Michalak aggravated the score to 18-13 with a penalty (51). But that's it.

Les Bleus are against surprise. Italians fit test with Castrogiovanni and reverse the situation in their favor 20-18 (59th). Within twenty minutes of the match remaining, the Italians added another three points via a drop Kristopher Burton (78th). They manage intelligently their lead until the end.

Italy became certainly "a great rugby nation," in the words of Philippe Saint-André. The XV France has certainly missed a good opportunity to start the season on the right foot ...
