Favoured Italy face return of Faletau as Wales look to stop their slide
Briefly

Italy is seen as the frontrunner for their Six Nations match against Wales, a situation that hasn’t been commonplace. Their odds suggest a significant acknowledgment of their improvement juxtaposed with Wales' troubling performance since their last win, which occurred 13 matches ago. The injection of veteran player Taulupe Faletau into the team highlights Wales' struggles, as he returns from injury with little playtime. His participation is critical, not just for performance but for lifting the spirit of a team in need of confidence after a long string of losses.
Italy are the biggest favourites of the weekend to win their Six Nations match, signaling a notable shift in their competitive status.
Wales's decline since the exit of their golden generation is significant, with their last Test win occurring 13 matches ago.
