Italy vs Wales live stream FREE: How to watch Six Nations clash for FREE
ITALY and Wales meet in a clash which could have massive repercussions in the race not to win the Wooden Spoon.
Warren Gatland’s Welsh side were hit for seven by France, failing to score a single point as Antoine Dupont and Co ran out 43-0 victors.
The Italians have made a good account of themselves as of late in the Six Nations, finishing fifth last year, and at one point pulling Scotland back to 19-19 last weekend.
A Huw Jones inspired Scottish side went on to win 31-19, but it was a good performance from the Italian side.
Last year, Italy shocked the world and beat Wales 24-21 at the Principality to hand Warren Gatland’s side the Wooden Spoon.
Having won in Cardiff last year, Italy will fancy their chances in Rome.
