Yes!
Wainwright powers his way over and Wales are up 7-0.
Wales seldom get a thread of their own yet they've played in the most exciting and tense 6N games this year.
Please let England take the wooden spoon from Wales!

Dan Edwards is like a traditional old school Welsh outside half. First Welsh flyhalf for ages who's reminded me of the likes of Barry John, Phil Bennett and Jonathan Davies.
Limoncello looking dangerous every time he's on the ball.
Try Wales. Conversion is good. 14-0.
Wales looking a different side today. More pressure and Italy do well to keep them out.
Yes! Dewi Lake scores.
Where has this Welsh team been all season?
People might say it's just Italy but Italy have improved out of sight,
Edwards converts. 21-0.
I'll catch some of the game now. Wales have been steadily improving in the 6N, good to see them doing this well.
Italy's tackling definitely not on the standard we've seen.
Wales are almost unrecognisable . . . playing controlled expansive rugby.
They're on the attack again . . . Carre with a surge, it goes wide and Dan Edwards is in.
Nice try Wales. Italy looks clueless.
Could Italy have gone into this game complacent? Is that possible?
Rhys Carre is rapidly becoming one of my favourite props. What a hit!
Fucking hell, the hits coming in from Wales.
Mann kicks away a 3 on 1 overlap.
Dan Edwards drop goal. 31-0.
Edwards with a droppie. When it's going for you it's going for you.
Wales contesting everything. They win a scrum on the halfway line.
Now Italy get a scrum penalty and Garbisi kicks for the corner. Wales under pressure now as Rhys Carre is replaced to a standing ovation.
Big old saucy maul from Italy the moment Carre goes off and they score.
Good maul Italy. It's a try. 31-7 and a yellow card for replacement prop Griffin.
Not exactly a proper tackle by Lynagh on James there.
Josh Adams having a good game for once.
As I say that, he makes another great break but looks injured.
Wales with 50% gainline success hints at the Italian defense not being remotely what it should be.
Italy are playing like a team that were told they just need to pitch up to win.
Alex "More-hits-than-the-Beatles" Mann is penalised and Wales under pressure again.
Held up. Whew!
Wales survive a sustained Italian attack.
Ha, the commentator just brought up Limoncello.
Wales back to 15 men as the crowd sings Ar Hyd Y Nos.
Limoncello, I wasn't sure I heard right. LMAO!
And directly following Menoncello wins a penalty for Italy.
That pass was a lot more forward than Sacha's earlier today but Ellis Mee does brilliantly to clear.
Limoncello, I wasn't sure I heard right. LMAO!
Linmoncello and Menoncello in the same sentence to boot. The 6N really is delivering.
I think this is a case of Italian complacency coupled with Wales' best performance of the season.
Wales need to keep scoring points as the wooden spoon could come down to England's losing margin against France.
What a break by Menoncello, ankle tap saves it and Wales just bundle Italy out short.
I've always rated Tomos Williams. He's getting on a bit now but he is quality.
Dan Edwards is replaced and gets a rousing reception similar to Carre's.
And Menoncello sets up what should have been a try but Italy 23 holds on and gets stopped short. Now they score at the other end.
And now Limoncello can't finish the kind of try he's been scoring all season.
Must say Ignacio Brex is a pretty good centre partner . . . and Tommaso Allan is in. 31-12.
