Any theories that Eben Etzebeth was gouged by Wales' Alex Mann appear to have been debunked after the Springbok's hearing account …
Italy face off against Wales in Six Nations Round 2 on Sat 8th February 2025 at Stadio Olimpico. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 14:15 and is broadcast on ITV. In South Africa it’s at 16:15 SAST on SuperSport, 03:15 NZST on Sky Sport, Sky Sport Now, Sky Go in New Zealand, 01:15 AEST on Stan Sport in Australia and 06:15 EST on Peacock in the US.
Italy won the last encounter but both teams are in the same form for their last 5 games.
Heading into the fixture the two sides are separated by just 1 places in the rankings with Italy in position 10 and Wales in position 11, underlining just how tight this match could be.
The official squads for Italy vs Wales will become available around 24- 48 hours before kick-off. Teams can still make changes up to an hour before the match however.
