England 19 – 26 Wales

A first win at Twickenham in 20 years, finished off an impressive fightback from the Welsh to defeat England.

It really was a game of two halves with England domination the first half and going in 16-6 at half-time.

The second half was a different story with James Hook kicking Wales to within seven points of the hosts.

Lee Byrne finished off an excellent move, before Mike Phllips put Wales ahead after charging down Balshaw’s indecisive kick.

Gatland must’ve said something pretty special at half-time for Wales to turn out that performance!
