*Players currently on the pitch are shown in bold
Wales arrived at the Millennium Stadium intent on treating the wounds of last week's Twickenham horror show, and in Italy they found a willing sparring partner. Shorn of several keys players, the Azzurri had no answer to their hosts, who swarmed over them from the off, Rhys Webb notching the game's first try in less than five minutes. If Wales were a tad wasteful in the opening 40 minutes, they were ruthless after half-time to rack up nine tries. Italy, who have now conceded 18 tries in their last two Six Nations matches, rallied only once Wales had put the game to bed. A hapless afternoon summed up in the last 10 minutes as David Odiete streaked away to notch an interception try, only to see play called back. From the resulting play, Ross Moriarty burrowed over for his second score. Wales -- bar Justin Tipuric's head knock -- bow out on a high, Jacques Brunel on the most chastening of defeats.
