Italy will compete against Wales in their final Six Nations rugby match without the services of prop Simone Ferrari. The Italian Rugby Federation announced on Monday that Ferrari would miss the game due to a neck injury he sustained during Italy's historic win over England.

Ferrari, who has been instrumental in all four of Italy's championship games this year, played a vital role in Italy's first-ever victory against England at the Stadio Olimpico, winning 23-18. The 31-year-old was replaced just after halftime in that clash in Rome.

With Simone Ferrari sidelined, either Muhamed Hasa or Mirco Spagnolo is expected to step in. Italy is set to travel to Cardiff aiming for a third win in this Six Nations campaign, a feat they have never achieved before, despite key player injuries this season.
