    Wales Head Coach Ioan Cunningham speaking to BBC One Wales: "It is massive. There is so much work, energy, effort gone in to this campaign and things haven't gone our way. It means so much to us all and just so delighted we managed to get across the line.

    We spoke this week, the pressure is a privilege we are lucky to do what we do it is hard at times but moments like that are so special. I'm so pleased for the players because they put up so much hard work, they've had to go through tough, tough meetings but just to dig in there, show a spirit at the end and claw it back is brilliant.

    It has been a tough campaign, it's not where we want to be but to get the win today was huge to give us a springboard back to where we want to get to. We are not a bad team it's jus things aren't happening at the moment but we are trying to change the way we are playing, we will get there.

    It is good today to get the win we can build on that now, whatever is next for us we will focus on that, try and get some more wins and keep building on exposing some more talent and building on the experience we got."

    It is still a wooden spoon but I'm so pleased for the girls they got the win.

    It's not a white wash, this has been a big learning campaign for this team, still a year out from the World Cup.

    So if it's going to happen anytime it needs to happen now.

    It is a little humbling, now it's about how are they going to learn from this, how are they going to grow.

    There are 20 seconds left, and we are going back to the TMO for a potential high tackle on Hannah Bluck by Emma Stevanin.

    The shoulder definitely looks like it was close to making contact with Bluck's head.

    Converted try - Wales 22-20 Italypublished at 78 mins

    Sisilia Tuipulotu, con Lleucu George

    Wales are over! They have been at their best when going through the forwards from close range.

    And this time Sisilia Tuipulotu is the one to cross for the score.

    All three of Wales' starting front row have scored tries this afternoon.

    With Keira Bevan off, Lleucu George steps up for the conversion and nails it!

    Wales lead with a minute left.

    The try will not count, but it is Wales who will have the put in at the scrum as the ball was first knocked forward by an Italian hand.

    A lifeline for Wales!

    As soon as you start giving away penalties, you are just giving territory and possession away so you are unable to put pressure on the other team.

    The crowd are on their feet as Georgia Evans crosses, but the ball is knocked on by Wales as it comes out of the ruck.

    Boos ring around the Principality Stadium instead of cheers.

    But hold on, referee Aimee Barrett-Theron wants to check to be sure.

    Wales 15-20 Italy

    Much like the first half, Italy are unable to make the most of Wales' mistake, and from their own line-out hand possession straight back to the red shirts.

    Wales need a try, and they need it now.

    More frustration, as yet another line-out is not straight.

    Another 50-22 from Lleucu George could not have come as a better time.

    Seconds are ticking away for Wales, but they have this attacking line-out in the Italian 22.
