Wales have overpowered Italy 26‑15 in the Six Nations, notching up a record‑ equalling 11th straight victory, the first such Welsh winning streak in a century.         

Wales who beat France in their opening match, dominated possession but scored only two tries in a performance that is unlikely to have caused too many concerns for their next opponents England. 

It took Wales 54 minutes to score their first try, when winger Josh Adams touched down having shown a little too much respect to the home side in the first half when starting first‑five Dan Biggar kicked four penalties.

Meanwhile, Ireland beat Scotland 22-13 in Murrayfield.

England will meet France at 3am tomorrow.

Wales now leads the Six Nations points table with 8 points, England is second with 5 points while in third place is Scotland with 5 points.

Ireland is fourth with 4 points.
