Wales name unchanged squad for Italy clash on Saturday
Wales will be looking to finish their campaign on a high, backed by a home crowd in Cardiff.
Wales head coach Steve Tandy has stuck with the same starting XV for the team’s final Six Nations clash of 2026.
It's as they prepare to face Italy at the Principality Stadium on ‘Super Saturday’.
Blair Murray is once again included among the replacements for the second time in this year’s Championship, while Tandy praised his squad’s consistency and togetherness.
“Having an unchanged team, I think it reflects the cohesion and the consistency in the group and the consistency of performance out in Ireland,” the head coach said. “This week we need to go up another level. We’ve had some really good performances. I think there were parts against France, then we built up into the Scotland game where I thought we were very good. Against Ireland we stepped up to the place physically. Now it’s about putting it all together and creating our best performance this weekend.”
Looking ahead to the final home match, Tandy added: “For the team and myself, going back to Principality Stadium is amazing. The boys did really well creating their own energy against Ireland, but there’s nothing better than being at home. The boys reference in meetings what the Scotland game meant to them and the French game, the New Zealand game – the fans have been incredible and I think they’re really behind the team and the team are really putting in performances to represent our nation.”
