ROME, (AFP): Antoine Dupont sparked France to a seven-try 50-10 bonus-point victory in their Six Nations opener against Italy in Rome on Saturday.

Dupont touched down and had a role in four other tries with Teddy Thomas dotting down twice as last year’s runners-up dominated a young Azzurri side.

Fabien Galthie’s side strolled in a sun-drenched Stadio Olimpico against the weakest team in the tournament who are without a win since 2015.

France, looking for their first title since 2010, play Ireland in Dublin next weekend with Italy heading to England.
