Wales team announcement Live as Tandy names side for Italy clash

Good morning and welcome to our live coverage of the Wales team announcement ahead of their final Six Nations clash of 2026.

Head coach Steve Tandy is due to name his matchday squad at around 9am, with Wales still searching for a first win of the championship.

It has been another difficult campaign for Wales, who head into the final stages of the tournament still without a victory and likely to seal the bottom spot.

Defeats earlier in the competition left confidence fragile, however after encouraging performances, albeit in defeat, against both Scotland and Ireland, Wales will be targeting this Italy game as an opportunity to restore some much-needed pride in the jersey.

Selection calls around the pack, the half-backs and the back three could all be under the spotlight as Wales look for a combination capable of finally getting them over the line.

We’ll bring you the team news in full as soon as it drops, along with instant reaction, analysis of the big selection calls and what it all means heading into the weekend’s clash.

Stay with us throughout the morning as we break down the Wales XV and the talking points from today’s announcement.
