Wales team announcement Live: Gatland names side for Italy decider

Wales announce the team to play Italy this morning, with Warren Gatland's Six Nations reputation on the line.

The Welsh side must beat the Italians and ensure they match their number of bonus points to avoid finishing with the Wooden Spoon. Defeat would represent the first Six Nations whitewash in 21 years.

Gatland is expected to recall George North, with Nick Tompkins and Mason Grady also hoping for starts. Captain Dafydd Jenkins may well remain at number six to accommodate Will Rowlands in the starting XV.
