Italy vs Wales LIVE rugby: Score and latest updates from Six Nations wooden spoon clash in Rome

A mistake by Wales gives Italy the scrum feed and keeps hopes of a comeback alive. They try their best to go coast to coast on the left but Wales handle the runners after a modest win.

Louis Rees-Zammit claims a kick and charges back onto the counter, showing off his flashing feet and that irresistible acceleration to punch you. He is about to be retrieved from the elastics and fails to clear the players in support – Italy wins a penalty from the mishap.

Not with mistakes like that. Paolo Garbisi screams his disapproval as his skids knock everything out of action and the ball falls free. Wales’ scrum in Italy 22

Finally something new from the hosts!

Alessandro Fusco again plays a key role in a brilliant attacking moment for Italy, keeping the defensive line with his eyes and taking Pierre Bruno in the back. Bruno half-bust and clean-loads for Juan Ignacio Brex, who has the appropriate mass to shake a tackler and score.

Does conversion pass – sure, but not?…

Stolen by Justin Tipuric! An ambitious call from Italy that goes for the tail and Luca Bigi has to make a real effort to force his throw there. That tips it out of the line, straight into the welcoming grip of the hoisted Welsh flanker.

Italy manages to earn a scrum.

Daffyd Jenkins is then selected because of a Maul injury. Italy pushes again to the corner.

Spirited! A small scuffle erupts, Alessandro Fusco bravely takes on all six feet five inches of Mason Grady. Italy have a penalty which Damon Murphy returns after warning both captains no further skirmishes are required.

Italy will not go away. It’s a nice move from behind in a scrum, Alessandro Fusco pivots around his batting half and mids, then flips up at just the right moment to break up the gap. However, it’s a little slow to get support with the nine and a bad pass will force a bad kick, ending the danger.

Liam Williams is the latest player to reach for a sore limb – the Welsh full-back’s problem appears to be with a shoulder or ribs, his arm grimacing across his chest. George North joins the back three.

And that’s a bit of a scrimmage-time splurge from the Welsh front row, which responds to Italy’s recent rise with a brisk, bloody ride.

Owen Williams’ kick doesn’t make contact.

Italy had their fair share of useful attacking positions today but didn’t quite get their accuracy right. They should be able to play from a lineout 35 yards from the Welsh line but tie the ball up in a maul at the back, with Adam Beard’s floating limbs getting at the ball to prevent it from breaking loose.
