That could mean a quarter-final showdown with holders South Africa but should Italy claim the victory tonight it will stand as one of the greatest shocks in World Cup history.

The Azzurri were trounced by New Zealand last time out and last beat Les Bleus over a decade ago.

France captain Antoine Dupont misses out through injury but they hope to have him back for the knockouts.
