Such a heartbreaking miss meant Italy missed the chance to claim a maiden Six Nations away win over France, first win on French soil since 1997 and first win against France of any kind since 2013. Ange Capuozzo’s stylish late try and Garbisi’s tough conversion does at least mean that they have ended their run of Six Nations defeats and a 14-match losing streak against Les Bleus, who scored their only try of the game early through stand-in captain Charles Ollivon.
