Six Nations: Wales 38-14 Italy

Wales had Liam Williams and Gareth Davies both sent to the sin-bin - Williams' yellow card being a major talking point. He was penalised for a high tackle on opposite number Minozzi just before half-time.

Former Wales captains Martyn Williams and Jonathan Davies, part of the BBC commentary team, believed it could have been a red card with one replay showing Williams' swinging arm making contact with the Italian's head.

The challenge appeared to have no malice, but could be deemed as over exuberant at best and reckless at worst.

South African television match official Marius Jonker guided French referee Jerome Garces through the decision.

Their conclusion was 10 minutes on the sidelines for Williams rather than a permanent exclusion although Wales chose not to return the British and Irish Lions back to the field.
