e le pagelle BBC: 
Andrea Marcato - He may lack big-match experience, but the 24-year-old showed glimpses of his exciting talent running from full-back - his best moment was a wonderful 20m line break on 36 minutes - and at fly-half when Masi was replaced on 52 minutes. But his place-kicking radar needs a fine tune after hitting the woodwork twice in the first half. One for the future though. 7 

Alberto Sgarbi - Like the majority of his team-mates, defended well in the first half but could do nothing to quell opposite number Shane Williams after the interval. 6 

Gonzalo Canale - Somehow contrived to miss the simplest of passes he will ever receive five metres from Wales tryline after a brilliant backline move involving Masi and Galon, a mistake which provoked a very southern European reaction from South African coach Nick Mallett. 5 

Mirco Bergamasco - Earned Italy their second penalty with a cute chip - only to be taken out by a crass shoulder barge from Ian Evans. The centre has an engine as reliable as a Ferrari's, offering support as a runner and consistently making tackles. Found himself in the sin-bin for failing to roll away at the tackle during Wales' second-half purple patch. 6 

Ezio Galon - Cut the Wales defence to shreds on 21 minutes with a brilliantly angled run, only to see his text-book offload fumbled by Canale with the tryline looming. Showed good awareness in attack when he was given the chance to run at Mark Jones, which wasn't often. 7 

Andrea Masi - Gifted Wales their second penalty when he opted to chip his defender deep in his 22 rather than welly the ball to Newport. Things went from bad to worse at the start of the second half when Tom Shanklin intercepted his floated pass to Sgarbi for Wales' third try. 5 

Simon Picone - His distribution wasn't exactly electric, he lacks the passes that unlock international defences and rarely made any breaks around the breakdown, unlike his opposite opponents Dwayne Peel and Mike Phillips. 5 

Salvatore Perugini - Imposed his authority alongside Castrogiovanni in the front row in the first half, giving Rhys Thomas a proper working over. Came off on 50 minutes. 7 
Leonardo Ghiraldini - Generally found his jumper with his line-out throws, although a few wayward efforts did find their way into Welsh hands. 6 

Martin Castrogiovanni - Took his try brilliantly - first snaffling Matthew Rees' overthrown line-out before bundling off Lee Byrne and Dwayne Peel to the line. Provided his typically robust, uncompromising style of scrummaging which Gethin Jenkins struggled to contain. 8 

Santiago Dellape - Gave Wales their first penalty with indiscipline at the breakdown on four minutes, but Came off on 50 minutes. 6 

Carlo Antonio Del Fava - Got away with a not-so-subtle knee to Stephen Jones' head in the first five minutes, but the Ulster captain is a formidable unit around the pitch. Was at the centre of Italy's best work at the breakdown. 7 

Josh Sole - Didn't do anything spectacular, ensured he contributed his fair share of tackles before he was substituted by Alessandro Zanni during the second half. 

Mauro Bergamasco - The marauding flanker with the luxuriant locks is always at the heart of Italy's best work, but he could do nothing to prevent Wales from turning on the style in the second-half. 6 

Sergio Parisse - Didn't have quite the same impact as he had against England, but the Stade Francais number 8 is a class act, he really doesn't deserve to be on the losing side with his performances. 7 

REPLACEMENTS: 

Alessandro Zanni - Probably won't thank his coach for introducing him for Josh Sole when Wales were completely bossing the second half. 6 

Marco Bortolami - The return of the second row for Santiago Dellape will give coach Mallett an enormous fillip, although the classy Gloucester star could do nothing to reverse his side's second-half slide. 6 

Paulo Buso - Looked lively when he came on for Andrea Masi, filling in for Mercato at full-back. 7 

Andrea Lo Cicero - The veteran prop is a solid scrummager, but the Italian set-piece was on its heels when he came on for Salvatore Perugini in the second half. 5 

Pietro Travagli - The replacement scrum-half gave away the most needless penalty of the Six Nations when he ran a full 30 yards at full pelt to push Mike Phillips deep inside Welsh territory for absolutely no reason. 3
