PRE-MATCH REPORT FRANCE vs ITALY GUINNESS SIX NATIONS 2020 HEAD TO HEAD - France have won 18 of their 20 clashes with Italy in the Guinness Six Nations (L2) – including each of their 10 home games in that run – Les Bleus averaging 3.95 tries per match against Gli Azzurri in the Championship. - In Italy’s two wins over France in the Guinness Six Nations, the Italians have scored 22 (2011) and 23 (2013) points respectively, which were the only times that Italy have scored more than 20 points against France since a 53-27 defeat in March 2003. - Italy have never won in any of their ten Guinness Six Nations trips to Paris, with only one of those losses coming by less than 10 points - a 23-21 defeat in February 2016 when a 75th-minute Jules Plisson penalty was the difference. - The teams have met just twice in round two of the Guinness Six Nations - with France running out 25-0 (2004) and 30-10 (2014) winners respectively. - France have played Italy once immediately following a Six Nations victory over England - it was back in 2014 when the French overcame England 26-24 in Paris in their Guinness Six Nations opener before going on to beat Italy 30-10 at the same venue. COMMON STATISTICS - While only Scotland (22) made more dominate tackles than France (21) in the opening round of the 2020 Guinness Six Nations, no country made fewer than Italy (12). However, this was still an increase on Italy’s round one total from 2019 (8 dominant tack- les). - Despite the difference in results, both France and Italy had the same number of opposition 22 entries in their respective match- es (5). However, while Italy failed to register any points, France took 4.80 points per opposition 22 entry - the highest total in the Guinness Six Nations from round one. - France kicked 33 times from open play, which was the most by any side in the opening round of the 2020 Guinness Six Nations. Italy, meanwhile kicked just 18 times - the second-lowest total among competing nations in the Championship. - France scored 15 points in the opening 20 minutes against England in the opening round of the 2020 Guinness Six Nations - the highest total among all nations. Other than the English, Italy were the only other side to concede more than seven points in this timeframe (14). - France’s three tries against England came from a combination of lineouts (2) and the counter-attack (1). Italy, in their 42-0 de- feat to Wales, conceded four tries from those very scoring origins (3 from lineouts, 1 from a counter attack). FRANCE STATISTICS - France have won their last four Test matches on home soil, including their victory against England last weekend, their longest winning run at home since a five-game streak in 2010. - France have started their Guinness Six Nations campaign with two home games for the first time since 2016, which was also the last time they opened the Championship with back-to-back victories, which included a 23-21 victory against Italy. - France’s average ruck speed was 5.57 seconds in their opening game of the 2020 Guinness Six Nations, the slowest average in round one. ©Copyright Stats Perform 2020.

PRE-MATCH REPORT FRANCE vs ITALY GUINNESS SIX NATIONS 2020 FRANCE STATISTICS - Bernard le Roux made 25 successful tackles against England, the joint-highest total in round one of the 2020 Guinness Six Na- tions, as only one player made more dominant tackles than le Roux (4). In the 2019 Championship, Felix Lambey led France with 77 successful tackles, as Louis Picamoles led the team with nine dominant tackles. - Charles Ollivon’s pair of tries against England ensures that a French player has scored multiple tries in a single Guinness Six Na- tions game in each of the last three Championships: Teddy Thomas in 2018 and Gregory Aldritt in 2019. ITALY STATISTICS - Italy have lost their last 23 Guinness Six Nations games, no other side has lost more than 17 consecutive games in Five or Six Nations history. - Italy carried the ball for 849.6 metres in their opening game against Wales, the highest total in round one, as only Ireland’s Jor- dan Larmour (154.3 metres) carried for a higher distance than Matteo Minozzi (142.8 metres). - Mattia Bellini (2) was one of just three players to notch multiple tackle breaks in round one of the 2020 Guinness Six Nations, as the other two players were Scottish: Stuart Hogg (4) and Sam Johnson (2). - Matteo Minozzi offloaded on four separate occasions in their defeat to Wales in round one of the Six Nations - twice the total of any other player in the opening round of the Championship. - Jake Polledri was one of just three players - alongside Ireland’s CJ Stander and France’s Jefferson Poirot - to notch multiple breakdown steals in round one of the 2020 Six Nations. ©Copyright Stats Perform 2020.
