Wales have named their team to face Italy in round two of the Six Nations. Taulupe Faletau starts the game, and will represent Wales for the first time since the World Cup in 2023. Scarlets centre Eddie James is handed his first ever start in the red jersey, and will partner up with Nick Tompkins in the midfield.

Steve Borthwick’s side suffered their seventh defeat in their last nine games in Dublin as a difficult period continues, with familiar flaws re-appearing at the start of this Six Nations campaign. It makes this a crucial contest against a France side flying after a 43-0 win against Wales and with happy memories of their last visit here.
