England once again came from behind at halftime in the Six Nations, narrowly defeating a determined and energetic Wales team at Twickenham.

Similar to their previous match in Rome, England found themselves trailing at halftime, with Wales securing a penalty try and an Alex Mann score, putting them in a position to potentially secure their first win at Twickenham since 2015.

Fraser Dingwall's try in the corner brought England within a point, and George Ford's crucial penalty ultimately secured the victory.

George Ford redeemed himself for his earlier inability to convert Ben Earl's first-half try.

“Hopefully George Martin will be available for selection after his knee injury,” said Borthwick.

“Manu Tuilagi is not too far away, and we’re hopeful as well that Luke Cowan-Dickie will be ready to be considered for the next selection.”

Telegraph 5/10: "The try covered a multitude of sins - from George North running straight through him, to not holding his line before passing to Daly."

Planet Rugby 6/10: "Not a huge carrying threat but a smart operator. Took his try well and is a good distributor on the gain line, although he needs to show more in the rest of the Six Nations."

Replacement: Ollie Lawrence (If fit)

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."

Replacement: Chandler Cunningham-South

Planet Rugby 5/10: "Much quieter than last weekend. Didn’t really get the opportunity to run but he was a useful chasing option."

Rugby Pass 6/10: "Unable to follow up his livewire Stadio Olimpico effort with another eye-catching display. Still had some good moments, namely his scramble defence."

Replacement: Immanuel Feyi-Waboso 

Rugby Pass 6/10: "Didn’t shirk his tackle load with England under the first-half pump and had a lively second-half start before exiting on 52 minutes."

Planet Rugby 5/10: "The scrum was not really a factor while he was on the field thanks to some smart (possibly underhand) tactics from the Welsh."

Replacement: Ellis Genge

Rugby Pass 7//10: "England needed a hurry up when he was introduced on 52 and he gave them that and more. A very energetic effort."
