Welcome to this live broadcast dedicated to the match between France and Italy. This famous ” eighth finals “as presented by the Blues: the last match of group A, which will determine which of the two teams will validate their ticket for the rest of the competition.
What is it about ? From the last meeting of Group A, and far from being the least important: the XV of France plays its qualification for the quarter-finals against the Italians who have just received a correction from New Zealand (96-17). Wounded in their pride, the Azzurri can also aim for a place in the second round.
Or ? At Groupama Stadium, in Lyon.
At what time ? The match kicks off at 9 p.m.
On which channel ? On TF1.
