ROME (Reuters) - Wales overcame a poor start to eventually trample Italy 33-7 in their opening Six Nations encounter in Rome on Sunday, a game that will leave the visitors plenty to ponder before a clash with champions England next weekend. "We will have to put England under more pressure than we did today against Italy," Welsh coach Rob Howley said, adding the team had shown composure to overhaul their hosts. "There were parts of that game that I think we can make big improvements on," Welsh captain Alun Wyn Jones said. But Italy tired under the weight of penalties and tackles, and Welsh centre Jonathan Davies finally touched down. O'Shea blamed the penalty count for Italy's blow-out in the final 20 minutes, implying that they did not enjoy fair treatment from Irish referee JP Doyle.
