Italy will miss prop Simone Ferrari for their final Six Nations match against Wales. Ferrari sustained a neck injury during Italy's historic 23-18 victory over England.
Ferrari, a starter in all four championship games, was substituted in the 51st minute of the Rome match. He has been a key figure in Italy's strong scrum performance this season, which also included a win against Scotland. Muhamed Hasa or Mirco Spagnolo are likely replacements.
Italy heads to Cardiff seeking their third win of the Six Nations, a first for the team, demonstrating their depth despite previous injuries to key players like Ange Capuozzo.
