Tries by Anthony Watson, Kyle Sinckler and Ollie Lawrence propelled England to a nervy 20-10 victory over Wales in a scruffy Six Nations encounter on Saturday that showed how much both teams have to do to become competitive in the championship.
earlier, top the standings on 15 points. Second-placed Scotland, who visit France on Sunday, have 10 points along with England. Wales remain rooted to the bottom without a point.
"It's not all a matter of scoreboard, it's about building pressure as well. We deserved to be more up at times because I was bad off the tee today but if we'd have done that Wales would have had to force their hand a bit earlier."England started full of positivity and, after an early Farrell penalty, scored an excellent try on a first-phase move from a scrum.
England continued to look the more dangerous side without really threatening the tryline but also defended strongly, not least when the home side had 20 phases hammering around the 22 as Wales continued their championship theme of failing to turn pressure into points. Both sides, seemingly more desperate to avoid defeat than push on for victory, struggled to hold on to the ball as the second half drifted into a succession of tactical kicks and the tension in the stadium was palpable.
