With the Rugby World Cup closing in, France and Italy will clash in a warm-up game where both teams will be keen on getting a result. This is The Roar’s guide to live streaming the match online in Australia, or watching it on TV.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 5:10am (AEST) on Saturday, August 31, with it to be held at Stade de France in Paris, France.

France come into this match with Italy on the back of a two-match series with Scotland, which they split one-all. Both teams won their home games, but France will be more or less happy with their performance, being very competitive in the game they lost and blowing the Scots out in the game they won.

Italy, on the other hand, suffered a loss to Ireland away from home three weeks ago, but then blew Russia away 85-15 last weekend. They still come into this match as the outsiders though, with the Italians sitting at the bottom of the Six Nations for a considerable period of time.
