Six Nations 2015: Wales 16-21 England
Six Nations 2015: Wales 16-21 England
England's injury-hit team came from 10 points down to record a famous victory in Cardiff and take revenge for their record 30-3 mauling two years ago.
Maiden tries from Anthony Watson and Jonathan Joseph, plus 11 points from the boot of George Ford, hauled England back into a contest that had appeared lost and gave them the perfect start to their Six Nations campaign in what is a World Cup year.
Warren Gatland's Wales - victorious in five of the last six games between the two at this stadium - had ridden a wave of noise and emotion to establish what looked like a critical early lead.
But 13 unanswered points in the second half from Stuart Lancaster's inexperienced team silenced the fiery home crowd and set up arguably the finest win of the coach's three-year tenure.
England had five players making their Six Nations debut and began the contest with 290 fewer caps than their hosts.
They have also never before beaten Wales in Cardiff after being behind at half-time, but they showed immense character to both upset the pre-match odds and recent history.
