Guinness Six Nations: Wales v Italy<\/span><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Campus: <\/strong>Principality Stadium <\/span>Date: <\/strong>Saturday, March 19 <\/span>Kick off:<\/strong> 14:15 GMT<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Coverage: <\/strong>Watch live on BBC One, BBC iPlayer and online from 13:45 GMT; listen on BBC Radio Wales and BBC Radio Cymru; text commentary on the BBC Sport website and app.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Wales take on Italy on Saturday with the only pride at stake for both teams after a disappointing Six Nations. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Wales, fifth classified, delivered a <\/span>greatly improved performance<\/span> in the loss to France in the fourth round, and <\/span>Can still finish third<\/span> with a bonus points win and favorable results elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lock Alun Wyn Jones will become the first player to reach 150 caps for a nation, and a resounding victory is expected.<\/span><\/p>\n

Captain Dan Biggar will become the seventh Welsh player to reach 100 caps. <\/span><\/p>\n

The fly-half believes that Wales was <\/span>the best team<\/span> in losing last week’s contest against Grand Slam-chasing France, and then facing a team they have beaten in each of the last 16 meetings. <\/span><\/p>\n

Italy, who will once again finish bottom of the table, are seeking their first Six Nations win since 2015 to end a miserable 36-match losing streak in the tournament.<\/span><\/p>\n
