The England team won against Wales 16-14 in Twickenham on the second day of the Six Nations Championship. A week after the inaugural victory over Italy in Rome, Steve Borthwick’s men are in the running for a Grand Slam this year.

Wales, despite a temporary numerical superiority of 15 to 13, failed to take the score and the off in the first half, leaving Ben Earl’s Rose XV within shooting range. The latter was elected man of the match.

With a very nice try by Alex Mann before the break, Warren Gatland’s men lose again very soon after the one-point defeat to Scotland in Cardiff last week.

They realized the highlight of the match with George Ford’s counter on the transformation of Ben Earl’s test. A controversial sequence (one more this weekend).

It turns out that the referee of the match considered that Ford had taken a step towards the posts, which is a sufficient signal to the opposing team to load the scorer.

The Welsh nevertheless cracked and made too many mistakes and mistakes that put England back in the match that did not ask for so much, and which took the score by George Ford.

The XV du Poireau is heading for a Wooden Spoon match against Italy for the last day of the Six Nations. Unless there is a feat in Dublin in two weeks and against Les Bleus in Cardiff…
