Wales team to face Italy in Rome

Wales have made two changes to their starting XV to take on Italy in Rome on Saturday.

Cory Hill and Gareth Davies both come into the side that beat England to make it three wins from three in the 2021 Guinness Six Nations.

Hill is the only change in the pack and comes in to partner captain Alun Wyn Jones in the second row. The front-row remains unchanged for the fourth successive game with Wyn Jones, Ken Owens and Tomas Francis packing down together.

Josh Navidi, Justin Tipuric and Taulupe Faletau comprise the back-row.

Davies comes into start at scrum half alongside Dan Biggar.

Jonathan Davies and George North continue their partnership in the midfield with Josh Adams, Louis Rees-Zammit and Liam Williams named in the back-three.

Elliot Dee, Rhys Carre and Leon Brown comprise the front-row replacements for Wales. Jake Ball, who could win his 50th test cap in Rome, and Aaron Wainwright complete the forward contingent. Lloyd Williams, Callum Sheedy and Uilisi Halaholo provide the back-line cover.
