Superb. The strength in depth in all areas is just absolutely frightening. Is a first World Cup win finally on the way for Les Bleus? Getty Images1696625479PENALTY! France 60-7 Italy | Melvyn Jaminet 81'81 mins: France reach the 60-point mark with a last-gasp penalty with the clock in the red. Jaminet delivers from the tee after Italian No 8 Lorenzo Cannone is penalised for a high tackle. That sets the seal on another absolute demolition job from rampant Les Bleus. 1696626012TRY! France 57-7 Italy | Yoram Moefana 75'75 mins: Still time for more French punishment in Lyon as Moefana notches his second try off the bench and the hosts’ ninth of the night. Italy were already hurting after their 14-try drubbing by the All Blacks at the same venue last week and their remote hopes of a famous shock win to dump out France and confirm a maiden quarter-final berth of their own were very quickly extinguished with Kieran Crowley’s tenure now over and Gonzalo Quesada taking the coaching reins.

Live updates1696626367France 60-7 ItalyFor Italy, a second consecutive hammering sends them home with a real whimper and there will no doubt be more question marks about their general standing in the game and the Six Nations. The prospect of them beating France or going through tonight to a first World Cup quarter-final always looked very remote indeed, but they’ve got to put up more fight than that. They have been absolutely pummeled in back-to-back games to end the tournament and Kieran Crowley’s coaching reign, totally unravelling and waving the white flag from the outset. Incoming head coach Gonzalo Quesada has his work cut out on this evidence. REUTERS1696625937France 60-7 ItalyFull-timeA fourth comfortable win in as many group games keeps France perfect at their home World Cup and sees them ease into the quarter-finals as dominant Pool A winners, with New Zealand in second. With their biggest ever win over Italy, they lock in a quarter-final date against the runners-up from Pool B - which looks very likely to be defending champions South Africa, unless Scotland can stun Ireland tomorrow - at the Stade de France in Paris on October 15. All this achieved without their inspirational captain Antoine Dupont, who could well be back for the knockout phase. And they did it in style with eight tries and a record victory over the abject Azzurri. It continued a really impressive tournament so far for Les Bleus, with that opening-night win over New Zealand followed by a second-string seeing off spirited Uruguay and minnows Namibia being hammered, though they were missing Antoine Dupont on Friday after surgery to repair his facial fracture and will find out on Monday if their inspirational captain can return for the last eight. France vs Italy: Rugby World Cup - LIVE! Pool A concluded at the Rugby World Cup on Friday night as the dominant hosts stayed perfect in Lyon. France went into their clash with familiar Six Nations opponents needing simply to avoid a shock defeat to seal their passage through to the knockout stages as table-toppers, with a quarter-final blockbuster against defending champions South Africa looking the most likely outcome. Sisi is hit hard and driven back but still manages to offload on the deck. A determined Zuliani ends up bouncing off Aldegheri and then driving two defenders over the line with him before touching down a consolation try. Allan converts. Something to shout about from the Azzurri at long last on another chastening World Cup night. 1696624621TRY! France 52-0 Italy | Yoram Moefana 55'55 mins: France burst past the 50-point mark in Lyon! It’s a simple catch and finish in the corner from replacement Moefana after a brilliant looping pass from Jalibert. The fly-half has been sensational for France tonight. Ramos has gone off, but Jaminet doesn’t skip a beat picking up goal-scoring duties as his first conversion off the bench sails over. PA1696624331France 45-0 Italy61 mins: Galthie is emptying his bench now as Ramos and Fickou are replaced by Melvyn Jaminet and Yoram Moefana. The French strength in depth is truly something to behold. He’s played in by master facilitator Jalibert again to leave this dreadful and demoralised Italian defence reeling once more. It’s a first conversion missed by France as Jaminet miscues. Getty Images1696625090France 52-7 Italy72 mins: Hooker Marco Manfredi and prop Federico Zani came on for Italy a few minutes ago. Faiva and Ferrari off. 1696624987TRY! France 52-7 Italy | Manuel Zuliani 71'71 mins: It won’t be a complete shutout from France as Italy trouble the scoreboard for the first time with less than 10 minutes to play. There’s a speedy break down the left flank from Garbisi, with some superb carrying and clearouts in the 22 from Italy. France vs Italy LIVE!
