Wales ended their Six Nations campaign with a winless streak of 21 years after a 24-21 defeat to Italy in Cardiff. The Azzurri, led by tries from Monty Ioane and Lorenzo Pani, secured a victory that allowed them to avoid the Wooden Spoon for the first time since 2015. Paolo Garbisi and Martin Page-Relo contributed crucial points while Wales' late tries from Dee, Rowlands, and Grady were not enough. Wales has struggled in recent tournaments, winning only one game out of 10 since Warren Gatland's return as head coach.
Despite their efforts, Wales remains at the bottom of the Six Nations table. Italy's impressive performance also saw victories against Scotland and a draw with France, marking a successful campaign for the team. Looking ahead, Wales faces tough competition against world champions South Africa and a two-Test tour of Australia.
