Wales unchanged for visit of Italy in final Six Nations fixture
- On March 12, Wales coach Steve Tandy named an unchanged starting XV for Saturday’s Six Nations finale against Italy to end Wales’ 15-game losing run.
- Tandy said he kept faith with the Wales playing group to reward players who 'did duty in Ireland' after solid outings against Scotland and Ireland in recent weeks.
- The matchday 23 lists show Dan Edwards and Tomos Williams at halfback, Joe Hawkins and Eddie James in midfield, with Louis Rees‑Zammit at fullback; replacements include Ryan Elias, Nicky Smith, Archie Griffin, and Blair Murray replaces last week's debutant.
- Wales face the prospect of a third consecutive wooden spoon, while a victory for Italy would mark their best-ever Six Nations campaign.
- This is the first unchanged XI under Steve Tandy and Wales' most settled matchday squad in nearly seven years, contrasting with Tandy's earlier rotation of at least three changes each match.
