The Six Nations wooden spoon is heading Wales' way again after it lost to Italy 22-15 and earned more unwanted records on Saturday. Wales has never suffered consecutive last-place finishes in the tournament's 142-year history but that's almost guaranteed now.

Italy and Wales are likely playing for the wooden spoon this afternoon - and Six Nations bosses need to stir things up a bit. Nobody expects another country to finish below Italy or Wales this year, especially after their opening weekend's results.

Former Wales fly half Dan Biggar described the Six Nations clash in Rome as Welsh rugby’s biggest game for the “last 15-20 years” after an opening 43-0 thrashing to France left Gatland’s side surveying a record-breaking 13th consecutive defeat.

There comes a point watching a team unravel where the facts and numbers tell the story. Wales after this weekend will be ranked lower than Georgia, dropping to 12th in the world rankings. Their record losing run has now reached 14 Tests.

Italy secured a 22-15 victory over Wales at the Stadio Olimpico, deepening Wales' Six Nations woes with a 14th consecutive defeat and all but confirming their second successive Wooden Spoon.
