Follow the latest updates live form the final Autumn Nations Cup match of the day as Wales and Italy look to end what has been a difficult year on a high in the fifth-place play-off.

Wales have clinched just two of their eight games in 2020 in what has been an alarming slump in form since reaching the Rugby World Cup semi-finals last November, making life hard for head coach Wayne Pivac. A defeat today would spell disaster for his reign that showed signs of life last weekend against England, but at least they can take confidence from beating Italy earlier in the year.

Italy’s record this year actually reads worse than Wales’s, given the only game they have ‘won’ this year was the walkover victory handed to them after Fiji were forced to forfeit the match last month. Follow the live updates below.
