France will be looking to carry on the momentum from their last-gasp victory over England, when they meet Italy on Sunday.

The hosts had looked like they were heading for defeat in the opening game of the RBS Six Nations, however, a moment of brilliance from teenage centre Gael Fickou rewrote the script and capped his side's 26-24 victory just three minutes from time.

This signaled France's first win in the competition and showed intent from their young guns that winning is firmly on their minds.

No such good fortune for Italy, though, who lost 23-15 to a tough Welsh side and the ever-influential Leigh Halfpenny, who scored two conversions and three penalties to lead his side to victory in their first-round fixture.

Odds certainly favour the hosts, who will go out looking to take top spot, with Yoann Maestri set to continue his good form.

Michele Campagnaro and Tommaso Allan, both 20 years old, keep their places after fine performances last time out.
