The ecstatic, breathless reaction to England’s last-gasp victory in Wales

16 wins in a row now

Patrick McCarry

WALES 16-21 ENGLAND

16 in a row. Who’s next?

England are well set for a second successive Grand Slam after breaking Welsh hearts at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff this evening.

Eddie Jones’ men were 16-14 behind with four minutes to go when Elliot Daly burnt Alex Cuthbert on the outside to score in the left-hand corner.

Wales looked to have done enough after a Liam Williams try and solid kicking from Dan Biggar. England, who had Ben Youngs to thank for a first-half try, do not know when to quit and they battered their hosts until they wilted. Daly was the hero and England regain top-spot in the Six Nations championship table.

The reaction to the last-gasp win captured a gamut of emotions.

Spare a thought for the Welsh though…
