Only the broadcaster who doesn't show the last game is allowed to have a highlights show. So it's not that ITV didn't want to, but that contractually they couldn't.
However the broadcaster which does have the.last game must reflect on the other games during the coverage of that game, hence why mist of the first 20 minutes of ITV's buildup was talking about France v Italy and Scotland v England.
