(Reuters) - Sam Warburton, who has not played since November because of a shoulder injury, will be among the replacements when Wales begin their bid for an historic third successive Six Nations crown at home to Italy on Saturday.
Flanker Warburton suffered nerve damage in the defeat by Australia in the autumn internationals but has trained without any problems and is likely to feature at some stage in the Cardiff clash (1430 GMT).
