The visitors started strong with tries from Dylan Cretin, Gael Fickou, and Arthur Vincent – with the boot of Matthieu Jalibert to make it 24-3 at the break. Paolo Garbisi got the hosts on the scoreboard with a penalty

Further tries from Brice Dulin and Antoine Dupont along with a brace from speedster Teddy Thomas put the icing on the cake for the away side.

Italy did get a consolation try through Luca Sperandio, but it meant very little in the end.
