There are no more matches tonight so we will shortly be switching off the lights. 

It's a day which will live long in the memory because of Japan's incredible feats, but we should mention that Ireland were impressive in their comprehensive 50-7 win over Canada, while Georgia beat Tonga in the first match of the day - a result which could prove significant in the battle for third place in Pool C. 

There will be more live coverage from us on Sunday, starting with Samoa's Pool B tie with USA, which kicks off at 12:00 BST. Wales, New Zealand and Argentina will also be in action. Tasty? You bet.

Ah, yes, what a match. Japan's historic victory over South Africa has made it to the front page of The Sunday Times. What a fantastic match that was. You can read the report by clicking here.

France coach  Philippe Saint-Andre says Yoann Huget may have suffered a serious knee injury that could end his World Cup.

"It looks like Yoann Huget has done his cruciate ligament - this is not the best news," Saint-Andre tells ITV Sport.

"He is a very important player and a big player to lose for this team. After that injury for four or five minutes we were a bit shaky.

"It's very important that we started with a win and we knew how tough Italy were. We wanted four tries but Italy defended well. We have started very well but we must continue. We have a win, but a bad injury."

Yohann Huget's right leg is in a brace. The Frenchman is in the changing room and is attempting to put on his trainers. He might not be wearing his rugby boots for a while. France coach Philippe Saint-Andre suggests the winger has injured his cruciate.

France flanker Thierry Dusautoir tells ITV Sport: "I'm quite satisfied with the win. Unfortunately we didn't control the game in the second half but we're satisfied. France is not too far so hopefully the fans will continue to support us."

It was the men wearing red who topped most of the charts in that match. The most metres made? Scott Spedding (128m). Most clean breaks? Scott Spedding (2). Most tackles made? Thierry Dusautoir (12). Most turnovers won? Thierry Dusautoir (4). 

France open with a win and such a performance suggests they could be a threat in this tournament. Italy are left to rue indiscipline and a lack of cutting edge.

How about this piece of analysis from ex-England hooker Brian Moore?

"France were safe in the knowledge they will win their next two games in the build-up to the showdown with Ireland, who were more impressive in their win against Canada.

"But this match was always going to be after the Lord Mayor's Show after Japan versus South Africa. We had the greatest starter of our lives and there was no room for the main course."

There wasn't a hint of a sniff that Italy were going to win that match. France will be relatively happy with the performance and, of course, the victory but the injury to Yohann Huget will ruin Philippe Saint-Andre's night. 

Craig Joubert decides he's seen enough. There's no point awarding Italy another penalty, he thinks to himself. The West End is there to be enjoyed, he thinks to himself. Game over. France convincing winners. 

A final flourish from Italy, but they're attacking play is a touch too predictable. They do gain territory, however, and earn a penalty in the dying seconds. 

Three minutes remaining and the ball is in French hands. "Allez les bleu," chant the crowd as they Scott Spedding gain acres with a wonderful swivel of the hips and a chance of pace. But the full-back is turned over so that's the end of that.

"France have never looked like they would score four tries so haven't put too much into it."

Italy's penalty count - shown by the circles in the graphic below - is going to cost them this evening. Martin Castrogiovanni, Josh Furno and Alessandro Zanni have all been penalised three times each among the Azzurri's 18 indiscretions.

They mess up the line-out 5m from the French tryline, too, which allows the French to bring a halt to wave after wave of blue-shirted attacks.
