The dreaded wooden spoon may be the only title on the line in Saturday's clash between Wales and Italy, but make no mistake, this has the potential to be the standout game of the day. While both teams have consistently threatened upsets over the course of the 2024 Six Nations, Italy finally made the breakthrough last weekend, leaving Wales four points adrift at the bottom of the pile.
They've been lumbered with the wooden spoon just once in the Six Nations era, and that was 21 years ago. Fullback Cameron Winnett had only just been born, and Warren Gatland's first stint in charge of Wales was still four years away.
