Italy vs Wales LIVE: Six Nations latest score and updates from fixture today

Wales are full of confidence after flicking the switch in recent weeks after a dominant win over England takes Wayne Pivac’s side to within touching distance of a Grand Slam in this year’s Six Nations 2021.

There is the straight-forward task of beating Italy today, with fly-half Dan Biggar comparing their achievement from 2019 to this campaign: “Callum has been very good. It does have similarities with 2019. If we’re brutally honest we didn’t play that well in the opening two games of this campaign.

“It was the same a couple of years ago when we didn’t play well in the opening two games, but still got the results. In both years we’ve played well against England in the middle game and that set us up to do the job in 2019.”
