England secured a narrow 16-14 victory over Wales at Twickenham on Saturday, mounting a second-half comeback to maintain their unbeaten start to the Six Nations. Trailing 14-5 at half-time, Steve Borthwick's side rallied with a try from Fraser Dingwall and a late penalty from George Ford to snatch the win.
Wales, who have not won at Twickenham since 2012, dominated the first half with tries from Ethan Roots and Alex Mann. A penalty try awarded after a high tackle from Ollie Chessum gave Wales an early boost, and they capitalised on England's defensive frailties to lead at the break.
England hit back in the second half through Dingwall's 62nd-minute try, finished off after a juggling catch and offload from Elliot Daly. Ford's penalty with eight minutes remaining proved decisive, as Wales were reduced to 14 men following a yellow card for Mason Grady.
Wales had opportunities to extend their lead but failed to capitalise, with Tommy Reffell outstanding in the breakdown. England's bench made a significant impact in the final quarter, turning the tide in a match that was too close for comfort for the hosts.
The result leaves England second in the table ahead of a trip to Murrayfield to face Scotland in two weeks. Wales, meanwhile, will rue their inability to close out the game after a spirited performance.
