Wales made it two wins from three outings in Six Nations rugby by beating Italy 24-16 in an error-strewn match at Stadio Flaminio on Saturday.
Gonzalo Canale took advantage of a dropped pass by Wales lock Barry Davies to score an early try for Italy before Morgan Stoddart and Sam Warburton crossed for Wales.
Italy captain Sergio Parisse then drove through Stephen Jones and Mike Phillips to score Italy’s second 10 minutes into the second half.
Stephen Jones’s kicking made the difference. It allowed Wales to stay ahead of the hosts and, despite being forced to defend for the majority of the second half, when the Welsh did make it into Italy territory, James Hook wrapped up the win with a drop goal six minutes from time.
