Two changes for Wales against Italy

Two changes for Wales against Italy

Wales coach Warren Gatland has made two changes to his starting XV for Saturday's crucial Six Nations clash away to Italy.

Rob Evans and Aaron Jarvis both come into the front-row, while Gethin Jenkins and Samson Lee miss out with hamstring and Achilles injuries respectively.

Gatland has confirmed that 22-year-old Lee could miss the World Cup after coming off during last weekend's win over Ireland.

Wales need to beat Italy by a big margin in Rome to give themselves a chance of winning the Six Nations.

Wales team to face Italy: Leigh Halfpenny (Toulon); George North (Northampton Saints), Jonathan Davies (ASM Clermont Auvergne), Jamie Roberts (Racing Metro), Liam Williams (Scarlets), Dan Biggar (Ospreys), Rhys Webb (Ospreys); Rob Evans (Scarlets), Scott Baldwin (Ospreys), Aaron Jarvis (Ospreys), Luke Charteris (Racing Metro), Alun Wyn Jones (Ospreys), Dan Lydiate (Ospreys), Sam Warburton (Cardiff Blues), Taulupe Faletau (Newport Gwent Dragons) Replacements: Ken Owens (Scarlets), Rhys Gill (Saracens), Scott Andrews (Cardiff Blues), Jake Ball (Scarlets), Justin Tipuric (Ospreys), Gareth Davies (Scarlets), Rhys Priestland (Scarlets), Scott Williams (Scarlets)
