    Women's Six Nations highlights: Italy 21-34 France

    France survived a first-half mauling by Italy to fight back and pick up a vital 34-21 win in Parma that keeps their 100% record intact in the Six Nations.

    France needed a win to keep the pressure up on England - who have a much better points difference and an extra bonus point - before the two sides meet next Saturday at Twickenham.

    But they were second best in the opening half, as a hugely impressive Italy stormed to a 21-12 lead that could, and should, have been greater.

    The hosts did not manage a point in the second 40 minutes, though, as France responded well to take a win that was only assured when Marine Menager and Alexandra Chambon crossed in the last five minutes.

    England have won all 23 of their previous 23 encounters with Scotland in the Women’s Six Nations, by an average margin of 46 points.

    They have prevented Scotland from registering a single point in more than half of those games (12). Ouch.
