1 day ago International Rugby Can likely lads deliver long overdue positivity in Wales?
Reeling from more financial strain, and still seeking a new head coach, Wales' summer tour of Japan may offer shafts of light.

Well.
Congratulations Italy.
Unbelievably, Wales hasn’t hit rock bottom yet.
On current form Italy must be the favourites here, they have recently been playing well and holding their own in hard games against strong opposition, however in last weeks game they foolishly gifted the Scot's 14pts in the first 8 minutes but the Azzurri will no doubt learn from that silly mistake. Alternatively Wales are disappointingly struggling to gel and remain in a downward cycle that is hampered by 3 injuries to key players from last week's game against France..., however I can't see the Welsh waving a white flag in Italy this weekend, I rather expect that the Welsh team will "give it their all...."
