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.

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.

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.

That pass was a lot more forward than Sacha's earlier today but Ellis Mee does brilliantly to clear.

Linmoncello and Menoncello in the same sentence to boot. The 6N really is delivering.

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.
