Wales 31-17 Italy recap - Aaron Wainwright scores two tries as hosts secure first Six Nations win since 2023

The fly half remains perfect with the boot and takes his personal tally for the game up to 16 points.

He had the three fastest players in his team outside him but rather than pass the flanker opts to kick long for his team to chase. Unsurprisingly it wasn't the best kick and Italy secure the ball - but it comes back for a Wales penalty.

Edwards converts his own try to give Wales the bonus point.

With 16 phases in the Italy 22, Wales kept banging on the door then a pass wide to Edwards gave the fly half an opportunity and he broke the line and ran in to touch down.

The gloom around the national sport has lifted a bit after that half.

But Botham is turned around just before the line and Italy avoid conceding a try which would have surely put the game beyond them.

A loss there as Wales loose an anchor to their scrum.

As well they might. Their plan to frustrate Wales and stealthily build a lead is in tatters.

Another good kick from Edwards extends the lead to three converted tries.

As easy a catch up drive as you'll see from a line out. The ball goes to the hooker at the back of the pack and he easily follows the pack over the line.

A turnover in the Italy half sees Wales charge towards the line again, with Italy's defence just holding up. Wales keep the ball due to a penalty and again kick for the corner.

A fine kick from Edwards. That's seven from seven for him in the Six Nations this year.

Wales again win the line out and charge towards the line, with Wainwright ploughing over Lynagh to score his second try in the second phase.

Italy failed to take advantage of an overlap but a fine tackle from the Wales number ten sees the hosts gain possession.

An easy kick from in front of the sticks.

Wainwright bursts into the Italy line and the defenders bounce off him, allowing him to dive in under the posts.

A long Rees-Zammit kick and chase leads to a penalty which Wales kick into the corner.

A very kickable penalty is hooked wide of the far upright.
