France XV's Lack of Precision Leads to a Draw Against Italy

The Blues disappoint against Italy: One XV of France imprecise concedes draw against Italians

THE XV of France showed a different face than expected this weekend during the match against Italy. Imprecise throughout the match, the Blues were unable to gain the upper hand over a determined Italian team and had to settle for a disappointing draw.

A disappointing performance for the XV of France

Barely a few weeks after a brilliant victory in the Autumn Nations Cup against the English, the XV of France struggling to find his feet. A large part of the squad was renewed for this match against Italy, and it seems that the lack of coordination had a direct impact on the precision of the Blues' game. Poorly adjusted passes, touchline errors, missed penalties, the list of errors made by the France team is long.

Italians up to the task

Faced with this XV of France imprecise, the Italians were able to demonstrate realism. Despite a lack of finishing in the final meters, Italy showed defensive solidity and a desire to do well which allowed them to resist French attacks and obtain this deserved draw.

On the road to redemption?

The disillusionment is great for the XV of France, but not everything has to be thrown away. The Blues showed good sequences of play at times, and it is a safe bet that Fabien Galthié and his staff will be able to learn the necessary lessons from this match. The French will need a reaction of pride in the next matches to erase this poor performance and prove that they are indeed the announced contenders for final victory in the Six Nations Tournament. THE XV of France has no room for error in the next match. Precision, desire and determination must be there to avoid further disillusionment. More than ever, the challenge is on for the Blues who, we hope, will be able to raise their heads and offer the supporters an end to the tournament that meets their expectations.
