Wales vs Italy: Wooden Spoon Decider in Cardiff
10 Mar
Summary
- Wales faces Italy to avoid the wooden spoon in Cardiff.
- Italy aims for historic third Six Nations win after beating England.
- Wales' losing streak reached 15 games before this match.
The Six Nations title decider will take place in Dublin and Paris, but attention also turns to Cardiff where Wales will host Italy. This match will determine who finishes at the bottom of the table, with the 'wooden spoon' on the line for the team that loses.
Wales, under Steve Tandy, is enduring a difficult period. They are on a 15-game losing streak in the Six Nations, their last victory being against Italy in March 2023. Despite a determined performance against Ireland recently, they have struggled to secure a win.
Italy, however, arrives at the Principality Stadium with considerable momentum. They achieved a historic first-ever victory over England in Rome last Saturday. Having already secured a win against Scotland, Italy is striving for three wins in a single Six Nations campaign for the first time, which would guarantee they finish above England.
