    Two-try forward Aaron Wainwright is named as man of the match after a barnstorming performance of hard carries and impressive defence.

    The Dragons number eight's work rate gets the award ahead of Ellis Mee, who enjoyed a stellar display on the wing.

    It's really important work from James Botham to get over and get his body there is what you need defensively.

    A couple of late changes with scrum-half Kieran Hardy on for Tomos Williams while Blair Murray replaces the impressive Ellis Mee.

  4. No try: Wales 31-12 Italypublished at 76 mins

    Italy with a powerful scrum and then David Odiase carries hard.

    It's worked to the backs and replacement back Leonardo Marin reaches over... but wait.

    Did Botham and Wainwright scramble?

    Marin tried to ground the ball just short of the line and then knocked on.

    No try and Wales escape for the second time.

    Wales 31-12 Italy

    Italy are asking all the questions at the moment but time is against them.

    If Ioane had scored then it could have been a nervy finish but Wales surely won't blow this lead.

    England will be relieved - Wales haven't closed the points difference gap by enjoying an absolute hammering.

    This Italy performance is doing terrible things to my fantasy team. I was in with a shout of the title until they failed to turn up.

    Chris, Sheffield

    Italy may have lost this game on defence. They could probably pip Wales if they hadn't given themselves a mountain to climb.

    Ellis Mee has had a brilliant game, and that sums it up with that try saving tackle.

    Has Italy wing Monty Ioane gone over in the corner? Nope.

    Ellis Mee with the covering tackle and the attacker's left foot just hits the touchline before he grounds it.

    Scottish TMO Mike Adamson gets big cheers as he announces that it's no try.

    That could have made it a nervy finish.

    Alex Mann is replaced by Olly Cracknell in the back row.

    Wales' back row trio have been impressive yet again... and Jac Morgan will return for Ospreys in the coming weeks.

    Dan Edwards has played really well today.

    A difference what you can do when you play forward.

    Tommaso Allan really should score after gathering Menoncello's inside ball but he's denied.

    Italy keep going with penalty advantage and eventually go over for their second.

    Allan didn't mess it up a second time.

    Great to see my beloved Wales back where they belong. Can’t wait to see more. Well done. So proud of you all.

    It's a happy morning watching the Live Text come in from Sacramento! Come on Cymru! The Dragon might have truly awakened from its long slumber, IF they can maintain discipline.

    Wales 31-7 Italy

    Dan Edwards won't get the full house this evening.

    The Ospreys fly-half is replaced by Jarrod Evans for the last 13 minutes.

    Edwards has responded to Sam Costelow's performance against Scotland impressively.

    Can Wales profit from a three-way battle for the 10 jersey?

    Wales 31-7 Italy

    Italy almost strike off a scrum with Tommaso Menoncello racing clear but the star centre is denied by a Josh Adams tap tackle.

    Wales scramble and the Azzurri go into touch in the 22.

    Tandy's men are set to keep their opponents under four tries for the first time this Six Nations.

    Another big shift by Dragons lock Ben Carter comes to an end with Adam Beard on for the last 17 minutes.

    Olly Cracknell, Kieran Hardy, Jarrod Evans and Blair Murray are the replacements yet to be used.

    Wales have successfully negotiated that yellow card period without losing another man for uncontested scrums.

    Bath prop Griffin is back on the field.

    Julian, Essex

    Never sure giving a yellow when the try is scored is right. Italy should have had a yellow for Wales second try by that logic.

    Italy get their drive going but terrific Welsh defence to hold them up over the line. That man Mee was getting involved again, the Scarlets wing has been excellent.

    Italy building some pressure and kick a penalty to the corner against 14 men.

    Can they repeat the trick for a second try?
