Wales vs Italy – rugby: Live stream FREE, TV channel, kick-off time, teams for Women’s Six Nations

WALES host Italy in the final weekend of the Women’s Six Nations aiming to bounce back from successive defeats.

The Welsh lost to England and France in their last two games, while Italy picked a win over Scotland.

Though on the losing side, Wales impressed against France

Though Wales head coach Ioan Cunningham is looking at the positives after their second-half display against the French as they head into the final game.

Cunningham said: “We can take a lot of belief from a second half where we showed what we can create. We eventually scored a try and we’re very pleased that we are showing progress.

“Our game is evolving as well, although we spoke about how we’re going to have to look at ourselves physically in regards to individual and unit errors. I think we have grown and evolved, so I’m excited about where we can get to over the next nine months.

“We’ve got another tough tasking facing us this week because Italy are a good team. They’re going to come here to prove a point.

“We have got to dust ourselves off, get a good working week under our belt and look forward to Saturday.”
