England once again came from behind at halftime in the Six Nations, securing a narrow victory against a determined Wales side at Twickenham.
Similar to their match in Rome a week ago, England found themselves trailing after Wales earned a penalty try and Alex Mann scored, putting them on the verge of a historic win at Twickenham.
However, Fraser Dingwall’s try in the corner brought England within a point, and George Ford’s penalty ultimately secured the win. Ford redeemed himself for not converting Ben Earl’s first-half try.

England player ratings vs Wales:
15. Freddie Steward – 8
Great opening carry. Solid in the air, one of the world’s best under the high ball. Needs to buy some longer studs as he slipped into contact on a couple of occasions which halted his brilliant attacking ball returns.
14. Tommy Freeman – 7
Quieter first half by his standards. Gathered his composure. Great hit on Rio Dyer at 49 minutes, covered the ground at a rate of knots and flattened the wing into touch. Great tackle on Adams, stopped a try at 56 minutes. Great effort all round.
13. Henry Slade – 7.5
Covered Josh Adams out wide, and took over clearance kicks from Ford. Big dump tackle on Jenkins at the half hour mark. Lost the ball in contact after a brilliant spell in the midfield, his 67th min mishap briefly halted England, but the Chiefs man had a solid outing.
12. Fraser Dingwall – 6
Didn’t get back onside following the Welsh restart and gave away a penalty. Out of position at 27 minutes, lucky that George North opted to kick with a big gap ahead of him. Flattened by George North, as he missed the tackle at 33 minutes. Try at 62 minutes as he capped off a series of short drives by collecting the ball and diving into the corner.
11. Elliot Daly – 7
Tried clever chip kicks in the early goings. Cleared the ball with a thumping drive down-field. Smashed into touch by Josh Adams, denied an early second half try. Great pick up to keep the ball alive for Fraser Dingwall’s try. Tackled Rio Dyer into touch right at the very end after a well read high ball.
10. George Ford – 8
Sent a clever chip down into touch. Had his conversion charged down in a bizarre first half altercation. Helped halt a 23rd mionute maul, with England winning a pen. Key tackle on Rio Dyer to send the winger into touch in a try scoring position. Missed the conversion to Dingwall’s try, and delivered a brutal up and under that no one could claim at 65 minutes. Stunning 50-22 put England in a strong position, kept England calm despite the set-backs.
