Wales now have to prepare for the visit of England to Principality Stadium in Round 3 of the Guinness Six Nations on Saturday 25 February. England beat Italy 31-14 at Twickenham at the weekend to register their first win under new head coach Steve Borthwick
ON THE GAME
“We gave away 19 penalties in the game which is not acceptable at this level. Again, we created opportunities and weren’t clinical enough. We were in the 22 for about six minutes and didn’t come away with much. That’s pretty disappointing.
”We could quite easily have gone in at half-time ahead. When we were 20-7 down, we ended up chasing the game and giving away another yellow card in a crucial part of the game.”
ON THE YOUNGSTERS
“I thought Dafydd Jenkins was good, Christ Tshiunza had some good carries, so for me their input was among the positives..”
ON SELECTION
“We need to be pretty ruthless in terms of our approach going forward. People were calling for changes and then when you make changes they talk about the players who have been left out. Sometimes it’s a lose-lose situation.
“We kept giving some clear messages during the week on trying to be clinical when creating opportunities, on discipline and how important that was for the game. We need to be pretty tough on that given the game at the moment.

”When you are trying to limit opposition teams to a number of lineouts it is not acceptable that they had 19 in the game.
ON LOUIS REES-ZAMMIT / ENGLAND
“Louis will be available for England. We need to get back on the horse and be tough on ourselves ahead of that game.”
