Wales moved within one victory of a second Grand Slam in three years after impressively beating Italy 48-7 in Rome.

Ken Owens, scorer of just three tries in his previous 80 Wales caps, got an unlikely try double while Taulupe Faletau also notched his first try for his country since 2016.

More familiar names also crossed the whitewash in the form of Josh Adams, George North and Louis Rees-Zammit, while Callum Sheedy dotted down in a Wales shirt for the first time during the seven-try triumph.

Winger Montanna Ioane got Italy’s only try but it was a lovely score as he chipped over a defender, collected the kick and dived over the line.

Here are the highlights from the contest.
