Warren Gatland believes that patience will be key when Wales chase a record-equalling win in Rome next Saturday. If Wales topple Italy at the Stadio Olimpico in six days they will match their all-time longest unbeaten run of 11 Tests, set between 1907 and 1910. Gatland, though, is looking no further ahead than an appointment with Italy, who began their Six Nations campaign by losing 33-20 to Scotland. Tomos Williams helped Wales to start their Six Nations campaign with a win (David Davies/PA)“We would like other players to get an opportunity next week. Some might start, and some might be on the bench.”With the dust still settling after Wales’ stunning turnaround at the Stade de France, Gatland praised his players’ character.
