It’s the campaign Welsh fans have been dreading as they head into their final game without a win under their belt. Wales have now suffered 15 consecutive defeats in the Six Nations and are set to receive the wooden spoon again.
Although they appear destined to finish bottom of the table, they will be desperate to avoid a third straight championship without a win. There were some positives to build on, with Steve Tandy’s side producing a determined display in the 27-17 defeat to Ireland last time out. They were also excellent against Scotland last month, only losing to a try in the 75th minute.
Unlike Wales, Italy could produce their best ever performance in the Six Nations. The Azzurri started impressively with an 18-15 win over Scotland and after defeats to Ireland and France, they responded with a deserved 23-18 win over England.
After beating England for the first time in 33 attempts, Italy will try to finish ahead of them by beating Wales. They will be confident of a win in Cardiff but will have to make do without right prop Simone Ferrari, who was man of the match in the win over Scotland.
