Azzurri look to finish with a flourish

Italy assistant manager Carlo Checchinato insists the Azzurri will have to perform at their very best if they are to stop France from clocking up a big score on Saturday at the Flaminio in Rome.

The only way France can win the RBS 6 Nations tournament is for Wales to lose to Ireland, and France to beat Italy by a big enough margin to make their points difference better than either Wales or Ireland.
