VICTORY AT LAST!

36 It was the longest losing streak in Six Nations history, Italy having gone 36 matches without a win in the tournament, a sequence stretching back to 2015.

2576 And in number of days, that losing run is even more stark. There were 2,576 days between Italy’s 22-19 win in Scotland seven years ago and yesterday’s in Cardiff.

11 The Italians had never won on Welsh soil before, losing ten and drawing the other of their previous 11 visits.
