England intensity was superb from the start - Borthwick

Whether it was a deliberate, pointed pick, we'll never know.

But as Wales' replacements jogged out ahead of their team for the start of the second half, the Allianz Stadium DJ launched into the Kaiser Chiefs' noughties shout-a-along 'I Predict a Riot'.

At 29-0 up, it wasn't the boldest forecast.

And in the end, Wales showed enough fight and quality to prevent England vandalising their national pride as they did in Cardiff last March.
