Interesting first half in Rome.
If Italy can stop shooting themselves in the foot we might get a surprise.
19-14 to the French at HT.
Wow - Italy is really trying hard! Half time and it’s going to be an amazing second half.
Might just be between England and Wales for the ole…
Instead?

Yes, they gave away way too many penalties. But, they’re looking good. Better than I expected.

Ireland in the lead
Hi Chris,
Wales head coach Byron Hayward has named his squad to face Scotland at Scotstoun Stadium on Friday in the second round of the U20 Six Nations. (KO 7.15pm, S4C/BBCiPlayer).
Captain Ryan Woodman switches from the back row to the second row with Jonny Green unavailable. Cardiff’s Mackenzie Martin gets a first start of the campaign at blindside flanker after impressing as a substitute against Ireland with Ospreys’ Morgan Morse replacing Luca Giannini on the openside.
Ospreys’ Ellis Fackrell starts at tighthead prop with Tom Pritchard dropping to the bench while the only change in the back-line sees Dragons/Newport winger Oli Andrew come in for Harri Houston.
