Wales gave themselves a significant pre-World Cup boost as they outclassed England, leading to a convincing victory.
Gareth Davies and George North were the standout performers, each scoring impressive tries, while Leigh Halfpenny’s 10 points from kicks added to their dominance.
The win proved to be an exceptional beginning for newly appointed captain Jac Morgan, adding to the team’s confidence ahead of the upcoming World Cup. England’s Marcus Smith managed to keep them in the game with three successful penalties, but it wasn’t enough to match Wales’ prowess on the field.
Both teams now face the crucial task of selecting their final squads for the World Cup. Head coach Steve Borthwick will announce England’s 33-man squad on Monday, while Wales’ Warren Gatland has decided to take a few more weeks to make his selections.
Below we look at the likely squad that will be announced by Steve Borthwick tomorrow.
