In a recent Six Nations clash at Twickenham, Steve Borthwick’s England side found themselves trailing at halftime against a spirited and youthful Wales team.
Despite some England players failing to make a strong impression, they ultimately staged a comeback, narrowly securing victory in what proved to be a closely contested match.

uch like the previous week’s match in Rome, England once again faced a halftime deficit against Wales. Wales managed to secure a penalty try and an Alex Mann score, positioning themselves for a potential first victory at Twickenham since 2015.
Nevertheless, England staged a comeback, narrowing the gap to just one point with Fraser Dingwall’s try in the corner. Ultimately, George Ford’s penalty sealed the win.
Looking ahead to the next match against Scotland at Murrayfield in two weeks, we identify four players who may need to step out of the starting team.

Evening Standard 6/10: “Showed his inexperience at the level for his yellow card, but recovered as the game progressed.”
Telegraph 5/10: “Struggled to match the heights of last week, losing the ball in contact deep inside the Welsh 22 before conceding a penalty and yellow card for killing a maul.”
Planet Rugby 4/10: “A great debut last week but not so good this time around. The yellow card was needless as all he had to do was hold them up as he had got onto the ball.”
RUCK 6/10: “Collapsed the maul as Wales trundle towards the goal-line. Awarded a yellow card as Wales get a penalty try. Provided a new role as a line out jumper at the back. Spilt the ball after 47 minute re-start. Didnt have the best game to build on his MOTM performance v Italy, but put in strong hits around the pitch. Off for Alex Coles (72)”
