Italy and Wales Prepare for Pivotal Six Nations Clash in Rome

Wales look to end a 13-match losing streak while Italy aim to solidify their rise in international rugby.

Italy, buoyed by recent progress, are favored to win against a struggling Wales team in Saturday's Six Nations match in Rome.
Wales have not won a Test match since October 2023, marking a 13-game losing streak, and face the prospect of another wooden spoon in the tournament.
Veteran Taulupe Faletau returns to Wales' starting lineup after overcoming multiple injuries, while Eddie James makes his Six Nations debut.
Italy, under coach Gonzalo Quesada, have shown resilience despite recent losses, including a strong showing in last year's Six Nations with two wins and a draw.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 2:15 PM local time on Saturday, February 8, at Stadio Olimpico, and will be broadcast live on ITV1.
