WALES completed a miserable Women’s Six Nations campaign with a record 44-12 defeat by Italy in Parma.

Wales, who lost all five of their matches, led 12-10 at half-time but conceded 34 unanswered points in a one-sided second half.

Kate Williams deservedly put Wales ahead with a try inside 10 minutes after relentless early pressure, but a converted try from Sofia Stefan and a penalty from Michela Sillari gave the hosts the advantage.
