    Italy are going to be running everything now, Wales need to expect that.

    They need to not over commit on the breakdown and stop giving away silly penalties and free kicks.

  13. Sin-bin - Pierre Brunopublished at 46 mins

    Italy 10-22 Wales

    Italy get their second yellow of the match, and it could have nearly been a red.

    Pierre Bruno is a relieved man.

    Can Wales capitalise?

    Take a breather boys!

    Wyn Jones is down receiving treatment after taking a massive hand-off.

    Italian wing Pierre Bruno could be in trouble here, they're taking a look if there was direct contact to the head.

    The soft penalty gave Italy a platform and from that point on the Italian attack has been irrepressible.

    What a dream start to the second half by Italy.

    Wales have been on the back foot since that break, and Sebastian Negri scores his second for his country.

    Tommaso Allan adds the conversion.

    I think Italy have got a bit spooked to be honest with you.

    They're just not delivering in those key moments.
