    Caryl James
    Former Wales wing on BBC Radio Cymru

    There's too much work to do Wales and not enough time.

    They've put too much pressure on themselves to get back into this game.

    Former Wales international on S4C

    Josh Adams has got very lucky there. It'll be a shock for him, he's probably in the shower!

  18. Italy 19-3 Wales

    But in better news, Josh Adams' card will remain a yellow.

    That was short lived.

  20. Italy 19-3 Wales

    Wales have a penalty for a high challenge on Aaron Wainwright.

    This will be an opportunity for a rare visit into Italy's 22.

    The attack has a 'now or never' feel to it.
