England overturn another half-time deficit in the Six Nations to edge past a youthful and spirited Wales side at Twickenham.
England overturned another half-time deficit in the Six Nations to edge past a youthful and spirited Wales side at Twickenham.
Victory moves England to the top of the Six Nations table after they maintained their winning start to the tournament, while Wales claimed a losing bonus point and remain fifth despite two opening defeats.England were back at their Twickenham home and intent on putting on a show for the first time since their World Cup warm-up defeat by Fiji last summer.
Ben Earl powered over from the base of the scrum before controversy ensued with Ford's conversion attempt. The England number 10 was not still in his set-up and it led to Wales closing him down and keeping their noses in front. The hosts and their partisan crowd could smell blood and after the forwards pounded the red wall, the ball was moved wide for Dingwall to cross for his first Test try in the corner.
It seemed to be working early on as, against the predicted English onslaught, Wales stood firm and defended with more resolve than they did during last week's first-half capitulation against Scotland.
