The hosts overcame Italy 31-17 in Cardiff, concluding a three-year Six Nations drought and breaking a 15-game losing run in the tournament. Wales built a 21-0 lead at the break, with Aaron Wainwright crossing twice and Dewi Lake crossing over; Dan Edwards kicked goals and a late drop-goal. Italy's tries came from Di Bartolomeo, Allan, and Garbisi, but the hosts kept the lead throughout. The result marked Wales's first home Six Nations win since 2022.
