Gareth Davies accomplished a primary strive simply six minutes after the restart after being performed over the road with a move from Wales skipper Jac Morgan that gave the scrum-half a simple end. Leigh Halfpenny transformed with ease.
Then it was George North’s flip to loosen up England’s protection and Dan Biggar’s glutton couldn’t have fallen higher into the palms of Halfpenny and two phases later Wales have been again on the road.
