Perhaps not as spectacular as past Welsh/English encounters in terms of plentiful tries and bruising defense, this weekend’s match between these two fierce rivals was dramatic nonetheless.
A game of two halves, if there ever was one. England 10 ahead at the break before letting Wales rush back in second forty with two quick fire tries. Despite holding out for the win, Warren Gaitlands men still have plenty to work on before next weekend’s clash with the Scots. England too will need to sort themselves out if they wish to avoid embarrassment against Italy in their next match in Rome. A string of injuries will surely set them back though unfortunately.
A historic victory for the Welsh, as 1988 was the last time they’d won at Twickenham.
Refreshing attitudes shown by both captain Ryan Jones and Man of the Match James Hook. Both staying focussed and grounded. After all, the Six Nations isn’t won in February.
Stay tuned for the Pick of the Week which will feature all the tries from the weekends action.
