Italy v Wales Six Nations 2021 match: Kick off time, TV channel, live stream and latest team news
Check out how to watch Italy v Wales live on TV this week, plus the latest team news, predictions and odds.
Wales hope to place themselves firmly in the driving seat for an unlikely Six Nations 2021 title win with a victory over Italy this weekend.
Wayne Pivac's men weren't fancied pre-tournament but wins over Ireland and Scotland were followed up with a comprehensive victory over England to secure pole position with two weeks remaining.
Wales may not have hit top gear in the tournament but they have found effective ways to win games and could go into their final showdown with a 100 per cent record.
Only France remain undefeated alongside Wales, though they have only played twice due to their Scotland game being called off following a COVID outbreak.
Wales face Italy, the whipping boys of the tournament, and will hope for another confident victory without any drama.

Italy v Wales prediction
Unfortunately for Italy, this one feels like another formality. To their credit, they've picked up double figures in each of their three games so far, though conceding 40+ in each hasn't exactly boosted their cause.
Wales announced their team two days earlier than expected, showing that Pivac is eager to get on with the game and rack up another win. Barring a freak off-day, this should be a comfortable victory by 20-30 points.
Our prediction: Wales win
