Wales edged a dramatic contest against Italy to salvage some pride in their Women's Six Nations campaign.

Sisilia Tuipulotu crossed to level the scores in the dying minutes, with Lleucu George slotting over the winning kick.

Wales’ other front rowers, Carys Phillips and Gwenllian Pyrs, were also on the scoresheet in a performance of grit and determination.

But it was not enough to avoid finishing bottom of the table.

Italy scored through Vittoria Ostuni Minuzzi, Francesca Granzotto and Emma Stevanin.
