France v Italy Six Nations 2022: Kick off time, TV channel, live stream and latest team news
Check out how to watch France v Italy live on TV this week, plus the latest team news, predictions and odds.
France head into the Six Nations 2022 as tournament favourites and will seek a routine victory over Italy in Round 1.
Fabien Galthie's men have recorded consecutive second-place finishes, but will feel disappointed not to have come away with more. Slack defeats have cost them dearly in recent years.
However, that was then and this is now. Convincing victories over Oceanic duo New Zealand and Australia last year continue to add to the growing sense that their time has come to lift the Six Nations trophy for the first time since 2010.
Italy head into the tournament expecting another tough slog as their losing streak of 32 Six Nations matches – that started in 2015 – continues into 2022.
Young players will be given a chance to impress and develop against some of the finest teams in world rugby, but they face another tricky five weeks.

This one remains a formality: the tournament favourites versus the wooden spoon favourites.
France should win this at a canter. Italy will do well to keep the scoreline respectable, but nobody could expect that.
