    Wales 5-7 Italy

    Simply put, yes!

    The penalty goes against Italy once again, who will need to address the issues they are having at the scrum sooner rather than later.

    Another poor penalty kick from Lleucu George makes hardly any yards, so Wales will have the line-out midway inside the Italian half.

    Italy look to work the ball down the right wing, but a forward pass stalls their attack.

    It is another scrum to Wales on half-way. Can they continue their dominance?

    Well, Lleucu George's kick did go over half-way but this time it fails to find touch and gifts it straight back to Italy.

    Two poor kicks from the Wales fly-half in the space of a couple minutes.

    The one glaring positive for Wales so far is their dominance at the scrum.

    Another penalty goes Wales' way at the set piece, and Lleucu George will clear over half-way.

    Wales 5-7 Italy

    A let off for Wales, as Italy break through the Welsh defence once again.

    This time, however, Lleucu George's tackle brings down Alyssa D'Inca, who does not release the ball on the ground and concedes the penalty.

    You've got to keep sharp in this game, you've got to keep your eyes on the ball.

    More lack of concentration for Wales, as Lleucu George's kick goes out on the full and Italy will have the line-out in Welsh territory.

    Something that we picked up on against France last week was focus and concentration, you cannot switch off.

    You can turn this game over in a few seconds.

    Converted try - Wales 5-7 Italypublished at 17 mins

    Vittoria Ostuni Minuzzi, con Beatrice Rigoni

    Well, that lead did not last long!

    Wales get their exit all wrong, as Alyssa D'Inca rips the ball back in the first contact and finds Vittoria Ostuni Minuzzi with nothing but green grass in front of her to run into.

    A gift for Italy, who nail the conversion thanks to Beatrice Rigoni's boot and they take the lead.

    Try - Wales 5-0 Italypublished at 16 mins

    Carys Phillips

    Wales take the lead!

    It is another training-ground line-out move, as Carys Phillips throws short to Keira Bevan, and the Wales scrum-half passes straight back to the hooker.

    Phillips has an eye for the try-line and showed it there, as she powered over from a few metres out.

    It is Wales' first score in the opening 20 minutes of the Six Nations game this year.

    The conversion is from right on the touchline, and Bevan's effort is a good one, but she is unfortunate to see it fall a bit short.

    Wales are back on the front foot, and a first Italian penalty at the breakdown gives Lleucu George the chance to kick to the corner once again.

    Lovely training-ground move at the line-out from Wales, who return the ball straight back to Carys Phillips who goes sprinting down the right wing.

    Wales work their way into the Italian 22 before losing the ball forward once again, Georgia Evans and Lleucu George not quite on the same page.

    Scrum for Italy.

    Discipline is key, that's three penalties in two minutes, we are giving Italy easy metres on the pitch.

    And to the delight of the majority of people inside the Principality Stadium, this time the penalty goes against Italy for crossing.

    Two more penalties go against Wales, and referee Aimee Barrett-Theron has a cautionary word with captain Hannah Jones.

    Italy kick to the corner for a third time, that last driving maul was moving, Wales will need to be better from this line-out.

    There is not a lot of Italian fans inside the Principality Stadium, but they sure are making their voices heard!

    Another penalty at the breakdown goes against Wales, this time Georgia Evans the guilty party for not rolling away.

    Beatrice Rigoni's kick to the corner is a good one, and Italy will have the line-out about 10 metres from the Welsh try-line.

    Italy have their first penalty of the game as Wales are off their feet at the breakdown.

    It allows the visitors to clear their lines, almost up to half-way where they will have the line-out.

    You're going to see a lot of kicking from the Italian's, trying to bring Alyssa D'inca in on the chase.

    The Welsh pack are on top at the scrum, but Italy get the ball out quickly and clear - only up to their own 22 though.

    It's still Wales on top early on.
