  2. Good morningpublished at 11:46 British Summer Time 27 April

    Wales v Italy (12:15 BST)

    Good morning and welcome to the Principality Stadium in south Wales, as Ioan Cunningham's side prepare for their final game in the 2024 Women's Six Nations.

    It has been a campaign to forget for Wales, who are still winless and hoping to avoid a wooden spoon.

    It will take a bonus point effort from Wales today if they are to avoid that fate.

    More on that shortly, but first let's take a look at the two teams.
