Non Evans kicked Wales' first points of the game

A Non Evans penalty put Wales in front but Giuliana Campanella's unconverted try gave the Italians the advantage.

The hosts got back in front when wing Lou Rickard ran in from 10 metres and Hayley Baxter to added to that with Evans duly converting.

Rachel Poolman ran in a stunning solo try from 20 metres before Clare Flowers capped off the win with her own score.

"We are developing as a team all the time during this Six Nations championship," said captain Mellissa Berry said.

"We needed to score some tries and despite making hard work of the first half, once we started moving the ball out wide, we showed what we are capable of.

"We are a young team full of talented players so it's good to get another win under our belts to enable us to carry on building as a team as we prepare for the Irish match."
