Davies at scrumhalf for Wales

Published on

Wales have made two changes to their starting XV to take on Italy in Rome on Saturday.

Cory Hill and Gareth Davies both come into the side that beat England to make it three wins from three in the 2021  Six Nations.

Hill is the only change in the pack and will partner captain Alun Wyn Jones in the second row. The front row remains unchanged for the fourth successive game with Wyn Jones, Ken Owens and Tomas Francis packing down together.

Josh Navidi, Justin Tipuric and Taulupe Faletau comprise the back row.

Davies comes in to start at scrumhalf alongside Dan Biggar. Jonathan Davies and George North continue their partnership in the midfield with Josh Adams, Louis Rees-Zammit and Liam Williams named in the back three.
