Josh Adams is sent to the sin bin for a high tackle on Paolo Garbisi.

There is head contact and it could well be upgraded to a red.

Things are going from bad to worse for Wales.

The scrum-half takes over kicking duties.

It's a decent effort but the ball hits the base of the posts and that's nine point gone begging for the hosts now.

Tom Rogers is penalised for a high tackle on Paolo Garbisi.

It looks slightly harsh as the fly-half slipped before contact.

Italy are lining up a long range penalty attempt.

That's two long distance kicks missed now.

Wales are living dangerously.

There is no shape to Wales' attack.

There are no dummy runners or anyone working hard enough off the ball to create options.

Dan is a good player but you have to feel for Ben Thomas.

You are asking a 12 to do a job of a 10 where he has not played all season - and in these conditions.

The Italian full-back is human, he pulls his kick wide and it's a let off for Wales.

Nicky Smith knocks on, the ball is still greasy despite a slight improvement in conditions.

Wales concede a penalty at the scrum and we all know what's Italy will do from here.

Just as we thought, it's an early introduction for Dan Edwards at fly-half.

He's on for just his second Wales cap.

It's a great break from Blair Murray, but keeping the ball in-hand is what was needed.

Blair Murray is showing what he can do if given some space.

It's lovely footwork. Josh Adams signals for him to kick through, but Tommaso Allan wins the chase.

Warren Gatland has seen enough and Wales change the whole front row.

Nicky Smith, Elliot Dee and Keiron Assiratti are all on.

The rain has calmed, which will help Wales in the second half.

Wales assistant coach Rob Howley was seen warming up Dan Edwards at half-time.

Could we see an early change at fly-half?

The kicking battle also resumes.

A little bit of re-wiring for the ref and we are back under way.

No changes from either side.

Wales need a natural 10 in the game. Nothing against Ben Thomas, but it isn't ideal to have a 12 playing 10 in these conditions.

We expected a kicking battle but Italy are just kicking better. The tactic to kick is the right decision by Wales but it is just the execution.

Peter O'Mahony has been recalled to the Ireland team for Sunday's Six Nations game against Scotland at Murrayfield.

The British and Irish Lion, who was not involved in last week's win over England, is handed his first start since last summer's tour of South Africa.

Wing Mack Hansen has been ruled out because of a hamstring injury.

The Connacht back missed training on Saturday and will be replaced on the right wing by Munster's Calvin Nash.

Tight-head prop Finlay Bealham is fit to start, while Robbie Henshaw replaces Garry Ringrose at outside centre.

Sam Prendergast is given the nod at fly-half with Jack Crowley on the bench along with hooker Dan Sheehan and back row Jack Conan who impressed against England.

Ireland team in full: Keenan; Nash, Henshaw, Aki, Lowe; Prendergast, Gibson-Park; Porter, Kelleher, Bealham; Ryan, Beirne; O'Mahony, Van der Flier, Doris (capt).

Replacements: Sheehan, Healy, Clarkson, Baird, Conan, Murray, Crowley, Ringrose.
