Wales would want to start and build a new squad for 2023 and the new coach that brings new methods will help. They still have some of their experienced players in for the next to seasons to help the new guys but they won’t make the next World cup. This season Wales will definitely be a strong team and i believe they will over power Italy. The Italian team will be in the same situation as the Welsh, but they don’t come of a great season and they will have to rebuild from scratch.
Teams:
Wales:
Starting XV: 1 Wyn Jones, 2 Ken Owens, 3 Dillon Lewis, 4 Jake Ball, 5 Alun Wyn Jones (c), 6 Aaron Wainwright, 7 Justin Tipuric, 8 Taulupe Faletau, 9 Tomos Williams, 10 Dan Biggar, 11 Josh Adams, 12 Hadleigh Parks, 13 George North, 14 Johnny McNicholl, 15 Leigh Halfpenny.
Bench: 16 Ryan Elias, 17 Rob Evans, 18 Leon Brown, 19 Cory Hill, 20 Ross Moriarty, 21 Rhys Webb, 22 Jarred Evans, 23 Nick Tompkins.
Italy:
Starting XV: 1 Andrea Lovotti, 2 Luca Bigi, 3 Giosue Zilochhi, 4 Alessandro Zanni, 5 Niccolo Cannone, 6 Jake Polledri, 7 Sebastian Negri, 8 Braam Steyn, 9 Callum Braley, 10 Tommaso Allan, 11 Mattia Bellini, 12 Carlo Canna, 13 Luca Morisi, 14 Leonardo Sarto, 15 Matteo Minozzi.
Bench: 16 Federico Zani, 17 Danilo Fischetti, 18 Marco Riccioni, 19 Dean Budd, 20 Marco Lazzaroni, 21 Giovanni Licata, 22 Guglielmo Palazzami, 23 Jayden Hayward.
