Emmanuel Meafou shines against Italy with an impressive performance in the 33-8 victory. Back in the starting lineup after two games as a substitute, the lock plays the entire match, a first in the tricolor jersey. Used to coming off in the 50th minute, he manages a full 80 minutes of play, with 10 tackles to his name. Meafou, 27, calls this match his "best game with the French team" and plans to give his "man of the match" medal to his son Marcellus. Head coach Fabien Galthié highlights his performance, stating that he rose to a real challenge. Meafou, who had to deal with a concussion the previous week, is now ready for the upcoming match against Scotland on March 7, following a week off in Toulouse.
