FT: Wales 31-17 Italy

Italian Captain Michele Lamaro, speaking to BBC One – “First of all, credit to Wales they played an amazing game in front of an amazing crows. We know how much it meant to them to play in this stadium.

“We knew we had a good opportunity, we knew if we played our game and in some stages we were inconsistent and gave away too many penalties, especially in their 22.

“We lost a lot of energy to try and max the energy Wales were giving, in the end it was too late.

(In reference to the England win fatigue) “No 100% not, we’ve had a very long six nations, but that’s the challenge that comes with playing in this tournament.

“We prepared well and we had the believe we could win.

“The first half cost us, but all credit to Wales.”
