If the game is played on Friday it would mean Wales playing twice in the space of five days, having faced Ireland on Easter Sunday.

It is the latest disruption for Wales during what has been another disappointing campaign despite the appointment of new head coach Sean Lynn just before the tournament.

They faced a 13-hour journey to Brive after opting to travel to France on the eve of their match earlier this month, only to be caught up in congestion due to a crash. The delay saw Wales miss their team run through.

Wales have lost all four games in the championship and must beat Italy to have a hope of avoiding finishing bottom of the table for the second year in a row.
