Garbisi misses injury-time penalty for historic Italian win
Paolo Garbisi’s injury-time penalty hit the post as Italy were denied a first Six Nations victory in France.
The fly-half looked set to seal the historic win until the ball fell off the tee, which resulted in a rushed attempt due to the shot clock.
Ange Capuozzo’s late try and Garbisi’s difficult conversion had drawn Italy level against the 14-man hosts.
Centre Jonathan Danty saw his high tackle upgraded to a red card during a half-time review.
