    Italy have kept their collective pecker up despite shipping seven tries.

    Kelly Haimona punts a penalty into the Wales 22 as they go in search of a third. 

    This time the set-piece clicks with Alessandro Zanni taking the ball at four.

    Jonathan Davies
    Former dual code international on BBC One

    "It is a very tired Italy defence. It was so easy, no-one made a tackle and Wales just broke free and scored a try."

    He deserves that.

    Ross Moriarty has been a fizzing ball of energy since he came on for Tipuric and he crashes over for five after getting spat out of the back of rolling maul and finding the Italy line at his mercy.

    Rhys Priestland, who has just sneaked on for Dan Biggar I think, slots a lovely fade conversion. 

  9. 'Garcia is one of Italy's unsung heroes'published at 15:56 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2016

    Wales 46-14 Italy

    Carlo Del Fava
    Former Italy international on BBC One

    "A well-worked try through playing to your strengths. We spoke about Tommy Allan and how he was playing well and he offloaded to Gonzalo Garcia.

    "Garcia has had a massive contribution in this Six Nations and he is one of the unsung heroes in Italy's back line.

    "They are not dead yet and they are looking to be positive in everything they are doing."

    Italy score a try to cheer their travelling fans.

    Delicious dummy and dart from Tommasso Allan before he feeds the Gonzalo Garcia despite having 18-odd stone of Jamie Roberts on his back.

    Garcia, who looks like a Shoreditch barista who got locked in a weights gym, is over from five out.

    Excellent kick from Haimona for two more.

    "Great passage of play there, great play. Wales are seeing gaps on the outside and Liam Williams fought for every blade of grass, that is great finishing off there."

    Jonathan Davies
    Former dual code international on BBC One

    "It was a lovely ball and Wales were patient going through the phases waiting for the opportunity.

    "They had numbers on the left-hand side and they made the correct pass. Italy were a man short, the pass was flicked on and it is very difficult to stop that from Liam Williams."

    This is lovely stuff.

    Jonathan Davies looks like he has got a hospital pass from Jamie Roberts, but slams on the brakes and flicks the ball on in one movement to Liam Williams outside him.

    The full-back flares the after-burners and zags between Tommaso Allan and Leonardo Sarto to score.

    Carlo Del Fava
    Former Italy international on BBC One

    "Italy did well to keep the ball under control and the ball was at the back of the maul.

    "It is a well-deserved try for Guglielmo Palazzani. He has played really well in Italy's last two games."

    Italy have a poke and find a bit of soft Welsh underbelly.

    Replacement wing Jacopo Sarto should have put Quintin Geldenhuys in in the phase before, but Italy go back to the old school to spare his blushes.

    A line-out. A 15-man shove with backs flooding in to join in the fun. And Guglielmo Palazzani emerges from the bundle to claim the try.

    "North is delighted with that. A great passage of play and it opened up like the Red Sea."
