Wales vs. Italy: The Fight For the Last Spot on The Table

The match between Wales and Italy is set to begin at 2:15 p.m. GMT on Saturday, March 19, 2022. The game will be held at Cardiff's Principality Stadium. The Wales vs. Italy international match will be one of the most highly anticipated fixtures this Saturday, with only pride at stake for both teams.

Wayne Pivac's team enters the contest after a tough 13-9 defeat to France on Friday. Only one try was scored by Les Bleus flanker Anthony Jelonch throughout the encounter, but Wales was unable to apply enough pressure to battle back against the Grand Slam-chasing French.

Meanwhile, Italy was defeated 22-33 by Scotland over the weekend, continuing their winless streak in the competition, which began in 2015 when they defeated the Scots. Wales' most recent game with Italy resulted in a 7-48 hammering for Pivac's team, and they have been undefeated against the Azzurri since 2007.

Wales will be feeling optimistic ahead of the Six Nations match, which will be held at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.

After undergoing shoulder surgery last year, Alun Wyn Jones is scheduled to play his first rugby match in five months on Saturday. Dan Biggar, Wales captain, will win his 100th cap in Cardiff.

Wayne Pivac unveiled his team last night.

Italy has made two changes ahead of their weekend trip to Cardiff. Ange Capuozzo will make his first start for the national team after scoring two tries off the bench in the side's loss against Scotland.

Meanwhile, Marco Fuser returns to the starting lineup, with Niccolo Cannone sliding to the bench.

Wales has announced a much-promising lineup, but the return of skipper Jones for his latest great milestone will elevate the whole stadium and squad. The hosts have had a forgettable season, but they will enjoy their chances of closing with a resounding victory.
