Clinical France overcome mistake-strewn Italy to extend Azzurri's Six Nations losing streak

Italy's losing streak in the Six Nations reached 22 games as France ended their own 10-match winless streak on the road with victory in Rome.

Match Commentary

81'+1		14-25 End of second half
80'		The ball is kicked into touch, and France end a ten-match losing skid on the road. Absolutely incredible.
80'		Into added time. Italy players can't quite believe what's happened. They won't even get a losing bonus point out of this. They will go back to the drawing board, but they will emerge in Six Nations 2020 having not won a match since 2015.
