Breaking Records and Welsh Hearts

Wales, hopeful of ending their 16-Test losing streak, were left stunned as England unleashed an attacking masterclass. The Curry brothers dominated the breakdown, Maro Itoje commanded the second row, and young stars like Fin Smith and Henry Pollock shone on the biggest stage.

Relentless Attack and Unstoppable Momentum

England wasted no time asserting their authority. Maro Itoje crossed the line in the third minute, setting the tone for what would become a relentless onslaught. Tom Roebuck added to the tally shortly after, and by halftime, England had already put the game beyond doubt.

Second Half Brilliance and a Statement Performance

England emptied their bench in the second half, yet the intensity never wavered. Ben Curry, the standout performer, disrupted Wales at every turn, while Pollock marked his debut with two tries. By the final whistle, England had rewritten history.

A Wake-Up Call for Wales

For Wales, this was more than a defeat—it was a reality check. Despite flashes of promise in earlier games, they were completely outclassed. If Welsh rugby is to rise again, significant changes must follow.

England’s Path Forward

While England’s title hopes ultimately rested on the result in Paris, their performance in Cardiff was a defining moment. This was not just a win; it was a statement. If they can build on this, the future looks incredibly bright for Borthwick’s men.
