Warren Gatland says that “everyone is aware of the situation” as Wales face a critical Guinness Six Nations clash against Italy in Rome. Wales are on the ropes, reeling from a record 13 successive Test match defeats and a 43-0 drubbing by France in their tournament opener.

Warren Gatland has dismissed the notion Wales are facing their biggest game for two decades against Italy on Saturday. Former Wales outside-half Dan Biggar described the Guinness 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.

Warren Gatland, the head coach of Wales' rugby team, has dismissed Dan Biggar's assertion that the upcoming Six Nations match against Italy is the most significant game for Wales in two decades.
