00:00Wales are in a precarious position, with a potential defeat in Italy setting them up
00:07for a second consecutive wooden spoon and dropping them into 12th in the world rankings
00:12below Georgia.
00:15The prospect of this outcome is unthinkable for many, especially with growing calls for
00:19Georgia to be given a chance to challenge for a Six Nations place.
00:23Even Welsh rugby legend Sam Warburton supports the idea of a relegation play-off between
00:29the bottom Six Nations team and the Rugby Europe Championship winners.
00:33Currently, Wales' world ranking is at its lowest ever, a result of 13 defeats in the
00:38last 15 months.
00:40A victory in Rome would restore pride and improve their position, but a loss would further
00:46cement doubts about their competitiveness.
00:49With the Six Nations title race already looking difficult, Wales must find a way to steady
00:54their ship and avoid further setbacks in the coming months.
