What a year #Italy is having. Beat Scotland week one. Came close with Ireland. BEAT ENGLAND!

I love to see Italy win, I really do, and while #Wales have been showing signs of what's to come, I generally root for the #Azzurri

Hopefully a good crowd in #Cardiff - but I imagine the turmoil in the back offices at WRU won't be helping the team get their spirits up.

Hokey dokey.

Would be nice to get a win for the first time in many three year-old's lifetimes...

That said, after last week's massive win against England, Italy are on track to win three from five this tournament.

#Cardiff city central Saturday afternoon/evening with the roof closed - atmosphere should be grand either way.

Here come the anthems!

Always nice to watch a match where I'm happy with either side winning.

Wow, crowd sounds amazing on Mae Hen Wlad!

Are they doing something to the audio? Sounds like a professional choir, best singing I've heard in some time.

Nice to see try-scoring/grin-bearing Rhys Carrรฉ starting

Whoosh turnover after turnover and both sides are ready to rumble. Not often LRZ falls for a dummy like that. Surprised we didn't see an Italy try tbh.

Red knock-on leads to accidental offside, kickable penalty for Italy.

Oh wow, Garbisi misses.

Knock-on from Italy, lineout Wales, omg Wainwright chews through the line like a locomotive engine and dots down for a try!

Conversion is good, seven on the board.

Good grief Brex catapults a tackle out of nowhere and Wales lose the ball. Insane read on that attack.

Ball is moved upfield because a kangaroo was spotted eating a curry and chips on Caroline Street two Tuesdays ago without a hat.

Rugby rules can be complicated sometimes.

Try Wales but the refs want to rewatch the last 22 minutes that led to the try before allowing it.

To be fair, on field decision is try.

Welsh forwards are all steamrollers today. Seems like very thoughtful engagement at the breakdown/ruck.

Very very very pretty play from Italy there. Wales very lucky to find a way to defend that.

Italy finding their form finally, but we're almost 70 minutes in.

Starting to put real pressure on Wales all over.

Wales always play better second half, let's hope it's true today.
They've played brilliantly so far.
