Yep, youse boys played a blinder.
Sort of agree with you about the score flattering England a bit, but it seemed to me that 'first match nerves' and a little bit of rustiness affected every team, we certainly let in a soft try. It looked for a while as if the Welsh might still be in the game at half time but ultimately the power and strength of the English pack just ground the Welsh forwards down and let the floodgates open in the last 20 minutes, so it may not have been a truly spectacular game but in the end we did deserve that margin. As you said - that's the game
