A win in the Stadio Olympico will see them equal their greatest ever winning streak between the years 1907\/1910.<br \/>\nCoach Warren Gatland has made 10 changes to the team, which has drawn some criticism. This includes former England player Matt Dawson who believes the Kiwi is prioritising the World Cup in Japan over the Six Nations.<br \/>\nTalking to the BBC, Gatland said: &#8220;I&#8217;ve never been a person who has worried about external influences.<br \/>\n&#8220;People can say, write or imply whatever they like.<br \/>\n&#8220;It doesn&#8217;t change the fact that we&#8217;ve been put into a role to make what we think are the best decisions.\u201d<br \/>\nThe changes include making Jonathan Davies the skipper and putting Alun Wyn Jones on the bench.<br \/>\nFour players will earn their first caps for their country tomorrow. The new players are scrum-half Aled Davies, flankers Thomas Young and Aaron Wainwright and winger Jonah Holmes.<br \/>\nItaly have made two changes, bringing in\u00a0Edoardo Padovani and Nicola Quaglio.<br \/>\nItaly have lost the last 18 Six Nations matches which makes a tournament record.<br \/>\nMeanwhile in Cardiff, fans from both sides are looking forward to the match.<br \/>\nFrancesco Furci moved to Cardiff from Sicily 18 years ago, and now owns Caff\u00e9 Fragolino in Llandaff. He told CJS News he\u2019ll be cheering on Italy, but his wife Sion is supporting Wales.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-22647 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/jomec.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_4020-1-394x394.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"394\" height=\"394\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-22647 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/jomec.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_4020-1-394x394.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"394\" height=\"394\" \/><\/noscript><br \/>\nHe says rugby has become more popular in Italy,<br \/>\n\u201cWhen I was young no one played rugby in school, it was all about football.
