Rugby Union: `I feel like I could fly right now'

We needed that and we deserved that. It's been a long time coming but hopefully we can go on a run now. Wales centre Gavin Henson sums up a nation's thoughts

I feel like I could fly right now. Wales captain Gareth Thomas expresses a familiar feeling

Everyone will now go crazy, there'll be mass hysteria. Thomas again

I don't think we played particularly well, there wasn't the continuity, tempo or pace we were hoping for. Coach Mike Ruddock opts for realism

I've been sent to my bedroom by my mother for worse. Thomas on his yellow card for scuffling with Danny Grewcock

Wales deserved to win the game. We struggled with field position. We struggled to get past two or three phases and you have to give credit to the Welsh defence. England coach Andy Robinson on a frustrating day for his side

I thought Mathew did well. It was his first game and he'll pick up a lot from how he's played. Robinson, in diplomatic mode, on Mathew Tait's torrid first cap
