14 Louis Lynagh: The Benetton speedster was in the thick of the action from the outset as he made some powerful carries and was solid under the high ball but conceded three turnovers. Was also kept in check by France<\/a>\u2018s defence and was yellow carded late on for a professional foul on defence. 4<\/p>\n 13 Tommaso Menoncello: Showed his class with his attacking ability as he made some powerful carries which tested France\u2019s defence and eventually gained 26 metres after making two clean breaks and beating one defender. Menoncello also did his bit on defence as he made eight hits and won a crucial turnover. 7<\/p>\n 12 Leonardo Marin: Took the fight to Les Bleus with some good attacking moments and eventually finished with 33 metres gained from one clean break and a defender beaten. He was less influential on defence as he made six tackles and missed three of those. 6<\/p>\n 11 Monty Ioane: Although he was constantly looking for work, the experienced flyer was not effective on attack and was yanked off after 68 minutes with Paolo Odogwu taking his place. Ioane also battled on defence. 5<\/p>\n 10 Paolo Garbisi: The Toulon playmaker had some good moments during the game\u2019s early stages but became less influential as the match progressed and then came alive again when Italy<\/a> were chasing a consolation try in the game\u2019s latter stages. Finished with a joint match-high two turnovers won and made 11 tackles. 5<\/p>\n 9 Alessandro Fusco: Not his best day at the office as his decision making and option taking was not at its best while he also conceded three turnovers. Was eventually replaced by Alessandro Garbisi on the hour-mark. 4<\/p>\n France land timely blows to floor Italy in Six Nations as Grand Slam dream remains on track<\/a><\/p>\n The forwards<\/p>\n 8 Lorenzo Cannone: The 25-year-old has been on of Italy\u2019s better players in this year\u2019s Six Nations<\/a> and came to the fore with another solid all-round performance in this encounter. Although he made little inroads with ball in hand, he emptied the tank on defence where he finished with a match-high 15 hits and won one turnover. 7<\/p>\n 7 Manuel Zuliani: Although he gave his all for the entire match, Zuliani was less influential than he was against Ireland last week. He put in a big shift at the breakdowns where he won a turnover and made nine tackles while he gained 16 metres with ball in hand. 6<\/p>\n 6 Michele Lamaro (c): The Azzurri skipper put his body on the line on defence as he completed nine tackles but made little impact in other areas as he was anonymous as a ball carrier and at the breakdowns. 5<\/p>\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Player-Ratings-key1-1024x576.jpg\")
