England international Freddie Burns says Taulupe Faletau is "head and shoulders" above any other player on the Wales team.

The number eight has been sensational against England and France since returning from long term injury and will be a key man again against Italy today.

Speaking to RugbyPass, Burns said of the match and Faletau: "It's a foregone conclusion against Italy. There's no point even looking at it and analysing it.

"One thing I will say though is how good was Toby Faletau last weekend? He's a team-mate of mine at Bath so I am well aware of his quality but he has come back, had a couple of games and I thought he was unbelievable. Head and shoulders the best player in that Wales team.

"Dan Biggar controlled the game well but, Jesus, Taulupe is one hell of a player."

Dewi Lake says he knew it would be "a tough nut to crack" after switching from the back row to hooker just four years ago.

But Lake, one of Welsh rugby's brightest young prospects, will continue his promising development when he makes a first Wales start on Saturday.

After winning four caps off the bench, 22-year-old Lake has a chance to complete this season's Six Nations against Italy by leaving another impression on Wales boss Wayne Pivac and his coaching staff.

With the World Cup in France just 18 months away, Ospreys forward Lake is an emerging force, adding considerable competition for Wales' number two shirt alongside the likes of Ryan Elias, Bradley Roberts, Elliot Dee and Ken Owens, who is currently injured.
