What a thunderous opening game. I thought Wales were going to completely butcher England after 15 minutes, and I was even confident at half time that we would win. Fair play, England were just excellent throughout the second half and there was only one side in it from then onwards.

Their tactics were spot on ....l kept it tight and dominated the set piece. Kicked a lot so Wales were left playing in their own half and we looked a bit one dimensional to be honest. The better team won fair and square, and I think that's Englands best result since 2003.

I'm genuinely gutted, that is a shattering defeat for Wales and lays down a real English marker for the World Cup.
