Wales v Italy

Warren Gatland's Wales head to Rome hoping to avoid their first wooden spoon in 20 years.

"I just wanted to be out on the pitch with the boys. "Dafydd Jenkins is still learning his roles in terms of calling the lineouts, defensively, but he has got a bit of a hard edge about him. I've always wanted to be involved in the Wales team and have that number nine jersey. "But my son's age group were going to watch the game in the Principality Stadium with his rugby team and he asked if I could go. It is what it is, and we have to get on with things." Rhys Webb ends a six-year Guinness Six Nations absence in the Wales number nine shirt today, admitting he did not even want to watch the team play during his international exile. It was also the first time Wales under-20s had finished on the losing side in Italy, proving to be a desperately disappointing night. Wales head coach Warren Gatland revealed on Thursday that a threat of possible player strike action before the Six Nations appointment with England last month caused a significant split and tension within his squad. With the financial situation, there might be some opportunity to free up some salaries, I don't know the ins and outs of how that works. If an offer comes over it wouldn't just be about the club, I've got a young family as well, so it needs to be right for me as well. If they lose by more than 15 points, however, they will drop to a shambolic 13th place below the likes of Samoa and Georgia. Successive defeats against Ireland, Scotland and England have left Wales scrambling around the Six Nations basement, yet to break their points duck and scoring only three tries in more than four hours of rugby.
