ROB Howley says it's a shame that the Six Nations won't have an Aguero moment but has warned Wales against thinking about a title tilt too early against Italy.

The Premier League has enjoyed a number of classic final days when all fixtures kick off at the same time with Sergio Aguero's late strike that won the title for Manchester City in 2012 topping the lot.

But the Six Nations has a different approach with the last round fixtures starting at different times with Wales' trip to Rome followed by title contenders Ireland and England going up against Scotland and France respectively.

The broadcasters prefer to have a trio of games with the drama building throughout the day but it does deny fans the chance to see title, which is set to be decided by points difference, going down to the wire.

"I do really enjoy the last day of the Premier League football where you have everyone listens to their radios and listening to scores," said assistant coach Howley.

"The drama of that situation is unique and it would be unique in rugby. Probably that should be the case in the Six Nations.

"Going first up it's important we win the game although I am not too sure what we will do in the game will be enough.

"Ireland and England will have the opportunity after our game to know what they have to do which is always a good thing. That could be a hindrance."

"Ultimately in terms of all of us kicking off at the same time there would be some drama in the game knowing what changes need to be made and the message that need to be got onto the pitch," he continued.

"We have to focus on the game and make sure we have to win. We all know Rome playing Italy is a really difficult place to go.

"You are in an arm wrestle between 40 and 60 minutes and that can continue. England found that at Twickenham in 2013 (when their failure to stretch away gave Wales a sniff of the title before the Millennium Stadium rout)."

Howley says that the call to send the Six Nations trophy to Twickenham and the replica to Murrayfield, leaving Wales potentially having to wait until they return to Cardiff on Sunday to receive the silverware, was "the right decision" but admitted the coaching staff were using the situation to fire up the players.

And he has reemphasised the need to treat the clash at the Stadio Olimpico as any other Test rather than going gung-ho in a bid to race past England and Ireland's points difference.

"We have to play the game on our terms and if we can do that and dictate then I think it will be an interesting last 25 minutes," said the former scrum-half.

"But we have to be very pragmatic early on, have composure and patience. We can't throw the ball about early on, it's not sevens game, it's an international Test match and we have to respect Italy."
