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 next month.

Italy dominated proceedings but almost let Wales back into the game before closing out a 22-15 victory in the Six Nations Championship on Saturday and condemning their visitors to a lowest ever place in the world rankings.

Wales centre Nick Tompkins says he wants to apologise to the travelling fans following a 14th successive Test defeat.
