Minute-by-minute report: The second round of fixtures kicks off with a potential wooden spoon decider. Join Lee Calvert
Wales are slowly becoming as miserable as the day both in terms of play and mood. The latest awfulness is Rowlands off his feet at ruck and Allan, kicking like a dream, does the honours.. Italian play is not doing much so Garbisi calls for it and hammers a drop-goal attempt towards the posts. It’s bang in line but falls just short from forty metres. A cracking effort.. Possesion around halfway for Wales is worked via a number of carries close to the ruck.
Some very late injury news for Wales with Liam Williams and Daf Jenkins both withdrawn within an hour of kick off. Blair Murray moves to fullback and Freddie Williams to lock, which will bring Josh Hathaway and Teddy Williams onto the bench
