• France 33-8 Italy

• Wing scores in eighth consecutive match

France pulled clear at the top of the table and kept their grand slam ambitions on track with a hard-fought win against Italy on Sunday.

The Azzurri had unfinished business in Lille. It was two years ago in the northern city that Les Bleus, still in the midst of a post-World Cup hangover, escaped with a draw after being outplayed by the visitors.
