Is Italy vs Wales on TV? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Six Nations clash
Wales face a crucial encounter with Italy as they bid to halt their losing run in the second round of the Six Nations. Warren Gatland's woe continued with a predictable opening night defeat to France in Paris, with former fly half Dan Biggar subsequently declaring this fixture as the most important in two decades after a run of 13 straight losses. Their last win in this competition came two years ago in Rome but Italy are an improved side since then, as they showed in threatening a comeback against Scotland in their first fixture. While they ultimately faded to fall short, Gonzalo Quesada will see this as an opportunity to get their campaign up and running ahead of sterner tests to come. Here's everything you need to know. Italy vs Wales is due to kick off at 2.15pm GMT on Saturday 8 February at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the match live on ITV1, with coverage on the channel from 1.30pm GMT. A live stream will be available via ITVX. Italy make minimal changes to the side beaten in Scotland. Niccolo Cannone replaces Dino Lamb in a like-for-like alteration in the second row, while Simone Gesi's injury brings about a recall for versatile back Jacopo Trulla on the bench. Wales are able to recall Taulupe Faletau after injury, with the number eight brought back into the starting side as Aaron Wainwright drops to the bench after suffering a nasty gash to the face in France. Owen Watkin suffered a more serious problem in that game, so Eddie James steps in to the midfield alongside Nick Tompkins.

Italy make one change for Wales Six Nations match
Men's Six Nations: Italy v Wales Venue: Stadio Olimpico, Rome Date: Saturday, 8 February Kick-off: 14:15 GMT Coverage: Listen live on BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Radio Wales & BBC Radio Cymru; text commentary and highlights on BBC Sport website and app; watch on ITV1 and S4C. Italy have shown faith with the side defeated by Scotland in the opening round of the Six Nations with just the one change to face Wales in Rome on Saturday. Niccolo Cannone replaces Dino Lamb in the second row as the Azzurri target back-to-back wins over Wales for the first time in their history. There is also continuity among the replacements with Jacopo Trulla the only new addition as head coach Gonzalo Quesada opts for a six forwards two backs split. Flanker Michele Lamaro is one of eight Benetton players in the starting XV and will captain the side which threatened a comeback at Murrayfield before the Scots ran out 31-19 winners. Fit Faletau and James Wales' two changes for Italy France bring in Jalibert & Penaud to face England The experienced Tommaso Allan, who kicked 14 points last weekend, starts at full-back, with Wales well aware of the dangers posed by wingers Ange Capuozzo and Monty Ioane. Try scorer against Scotland Juan Ignacio Brex continues his midfield partnership with club team-mate Tommaso Menoncello, who was last year voted the Six Nations player of the championship. Paolo Garbisi and Martin Page-Relo are the half-backs, with no place in the matchday squad for Wales-born Stephen Varney. The pack has a familiar look with a front row of Simone Farrari, Giacomo Nicotera and Danilo Fischetti. Federico Ruzza and Niccili Cannone are named as locks, with Lorenzo Cannone and Sebastian Negrin joining Lamaro in the back row. Italy: Allan; Capuozzo, Brex, Menoncello, Ioane; P Garbisi, Page-Relo; Fischetti, Nicotera, Ferrari, N Cannone, Ruzza, Negri, Lamaro, L Cannone Replacements: Lucchesi, Rizzoli, Riccioni, Lamb, Zuliani, Vintcent, A Garbisi, Trulla.
