John Inverdale introduces coverage from the 2010 Six Nations at the Stade de France, where the French face Italy.

The Azzurri have yet to beat Les Bleus since joining the Six Nations, a statistic Nick Mallett's men would dearly love to put right. Italy gave the French a bit of a scare on their last visit to Paris before eventually losing 25-13. French coach Marc Lievremont has chopped and changed since taking charge, but the signs are he is starting to find the right formula.

France have produced some breathtaking rugby so far, particularly in the comprehensive win against Ireland, and will be confident of extending their winning run against the Italians.
