Ambition drives Giggs on as Wales face Italians

RYAN GIGGS knows he is facing probably his best and last chance of reaching a major international tournament with Wales.

The Manchester United winger, who has won more medals than any other player in Old Trafford history, will reach the grand old age of 30 in November. And for the first time in his 41-cap international career which has spanned 12 years, the Welsh are within touching distance of the European Championships.

A favourable result against mighty Italy in the imposing San Siro tomorrow could rubber-stamp Wales' passage to the finals in Portugal.
