Six Nations Tournament: Italy, backed by Erasmus, aims for a stunning upset against France

Gonzalo Quesada's Italy is gearing up to take on France on Sunday at 4:10 PM, following a victory against Scotland (18-15) and a narrow defeat in Ireland (20-13). Rassie Erasmus, the South African head coach, predicts a bright future for the Squadra Azzurra, placing them among the best in the Six Nations Tournament. Despite the absence of several key players, including Martin Page-Relo and Ange Capuozzo, Italy is showing positive momentum. Quesada emphasizes the importance of a broader group, capable of adapting and raising their game. The defense, often criticized, has regained solidity, conceding only two tries in the closing minutes against South Africa in November. The Italians, under pressure, aim to shake up expectations against France.
