60 mins: Two penalties against Italy later, referee JP Doyle has lost patience and gives a yellow card to Lovotti for going down to his knees. Another scrum taken, so on comes Sami Panico.

61 mins: The Italian scrum stays firm this time, and Webb goes to the blindside. He offloAds the Williams but the tackle comes in...TRY FOR WALES!

61 mins: The pressure finally tells. Williams is stopped, but Wales then come to the massive openside and as the defenders run out, Jonathan Davies dives over unopposed to score Wales's first try. Halfpenny converts, and the score is made all the more funny by referee Doyle hitting the deck while trying to award the try, breaking his whistle in the process. 7-19.

66 mins: It's all a bit frantic, with a Welsh jumper being taken out in the air. It's ruled a fair contest, and then Williams is taken out when he contests a high ball. Doyle sticks with his call that both are fair, and he penalises Parisse for his persistent complaining and gives him a very clear warning to shut up of leave the field. Wales go for the corner...TRY FOR WALES!

67 mins: Wales are beginning to cut loose now and they attack from left to right before coming back across the pitch. Jonathan Davies sucks in the last man, and when Canna bites he offloads to Liam Williams to score in the corner. Halfpenny gets the tricky conversion and the lead is out to 7-26.

[5 February 2017 15:44 · Jack de Menezes]

71 mins: Wales concede a penalty under pressure in the right corner, and with Lovotti returning along with Bisegni, Italy are back to full strength. The lineout maul comes down, and it's in Italy's favour so they'll get the put-in.

[5 February 2017 15:45 · Jack de Menezes]

73 mins: Parisse loses the ball as the Wales pack assert their dominance to spoil the scrum. Webb kicks possession away, and Italy have to rebuild from deep.

78 mins: Davies does brilliantly to avoid three rushing Italian defendersm and he releases George North...TRY FOR WALES!

[5 February 2017 15:54 · Jack de Menezes]

78 mins: Simply brilliant footwork from Sam Davies sees him dance away from three defenders, and he offloads to George North in his own half. The wing sprints down the pitch, cuts inside McLean and goes over next to the posts. Halfpenny converts and we're in bonus point territory. 7-33.

80 mins: Liam Williams goes over in the corner...but has he lost the ball?
