Italy show faith with the side defeated by Scotland in the opening round of the Six Nations with just the one change to face Wales on Saturday.

Italy head coach Gonzalo Quesada on Thursday kept faith in the team which lost their opening Six Nations fixture when he made one change to take on Wales at the Stadio Olimpico this weekend.

Wales face off with Italy in Rome on Saturday trying to end a record-breaking run of defeats in what will likely be the key clash in the battle to avoid the Six Nations' wooden spoon.

Jac Morgan captained Wales in the U20 Six Nations in 2020, achieving more turnovers than any other player in the tournament before it got halted due to the COVID pandemic. He made his senior Wales debut in 2022 and has made 17 appearances, and will captain Wales for the 2025 Six Nations tournament.

Wales have made two changes to their starting line-up for the Six Nations clash against Italy, with Taulupe Faletau and Eddie James both coming into the side.

Veteran loose forward Taulupe Faletau will play his first game for Wales since the 2023 Rugby World Cup after being named on Thursday in the starting line up for their vital Six Nations clash with Italy in Rome on Saturday.

Number eight Taulupe Faletau is fit and centre Eddie James will make his first Wales Test start in the Six Nations trip to face Italy on Saturday.

Veteran loose forward Taulupe Faletau will play his first game for Wales since the 2023 Rugby World Cup after being named at No. 8 to face Italy in Rome on Saturday.

Taulupe Faletau will play his first Test in more than a year as Wales look to end their record 13-match losing streak against Italy in Saturday's Six Nations clash in Rome. But the 104-times capped Faletau is now back as one of two changes to the side thrashed 43-0 by France in last week's first round of the Six Nations,
