France v Italy
France v Italy (Kick-off 8.15pm). Jacqui Hurley presents all the action from the opening match in Pool D, held at Sandy Park in Exeter. France recorded a 34-21 victory when the teams met in Parma four months ago in the Six Nations and went on to finish as runners-up to England in that competition, while the Italians ended the campaign in fourth place. The sides faced each other in the quarter-finals of this competition three years ago in New Zealand, with the French prevailing 39-3 en route to a third-place finish. With analysis from Dorothy Wall and Lindsay Peat
