Italy controlled the lawsuit, but it rarely Wales returned to the game before closing off a 22-15 victory with the Six Nations on Saturday.
Trying from Ange Capuozzo, 17 points away from Tommaso Allan’s boots, secured a comfortable lead with a rainy studio Olympico before Wales makes a slow comeback with a score from Aaron Wainwright, and in the final minutes I tried the penalty as two yellow cards. The number of Italians has decreased to 13.
But it was too late for the Welshman, who was the Triple Crown Champion just four years ago, fell to 12th place under Georgia for the first time in the world rugby rankings.
Veteran coach Warren Gatland’s future is in serious trouble, with Wales losing its record to 14 consecutive games.

Italian attempt came 20 minutes into the first half. Capuozzo has little room in the corner, but he managed to avoid the touchline as he managed to grabber from fly half Pablo Garbisi. Scrum set an opportunity.
Alan overcame conversion and slotted three first-half penalties against a 16-3 half-time lead as Wales committed an unnecessary mall violation. Ben Thomas kicked the Welsh penalty.
Italy missed the opportunity to extend the lead when Alan settled two kick-friendly efforts after the break and hit the crossbar with a long distance effort in the 59th minute.
Alan finally succeeded with yet another penalty at the first point in the second half after the Welsh fell to 14 when winger Joshu Adams was carded yellow for head contact with Garbisi’s choking tackle did.
