Wales defeated Italy 33-7 in their opening Six Nations match this morning.

Wales were unable to score a fourth try to secure a bonus point that would have sent them clear at the top of the table.

Italy was leading 7-0 in the first half but Wales responded in the second half with three tries.

Jonathan Davies and Liam Williams both scored within six minutes while George North added the third try two minutes from fulltime.

Leigh Halfpenny added 18 points with the boot.

Meanwhile, Scotland defeated Ireland 27-22 yesterday while England beat France 19-16.
