Wales must improve significantly against Italy, warns Charvis

COLIN CHARVIS has warned Wales must improve substantially for this weekend’s RBS Six Nations Championship clash with Italy or face making unwanted history.

The Azzuri are still chasing their first win on the road since joining the Six Nations in 2000, and captain Marco Bortolami has targeted Saturday’s clash at the Millennium Stadium as the ideal opportunity to end that search.

But after a tumultuous campaign, marked by the controversial departure of head coach Mike Ruddock and comprehensive defeats to England and Ireland, Wales cannot afford to let Italy break their duck in Cardiff.
