Wales vs England reaction - Hosts keep Grand Slam hopes alive after breaking English resolve

Reaction from Cardiff after Wales' thrilling Six Nations victory

Wales v England - Six Nations match preview

Warren Gatland celebrated his final Guinness Six Nations match against England with a dramatic 21-13 victory in Cardiff that continues Wales' march towards the Grand Slam.

Second-row Cory Hill forced his way over in the 68th minute after a lengthy period of Welsh resurgence to seize the lead for the first time, his team thriving amid the arrival of replacement fly-half Dan Biggar from the bench to direct the final quarter.

And bedlam ensued at the Principality Stadium in the closing moments when Josh Adams grabbed Biggar's crossfield kicked to touch down and confirm a famous win.

Gatland's first taste of success over opposite number Eddie Jones in four attempts also set a new national record of 12 consecutive victories and was a fitting way to end their Championship rivalry before the Kiwi steps down after the World Cup.

EJ: The world hasn't ended, I guarantee the world's still going out there, and we'll learn from that.

EJ on Sinckler: I didn't know Warren had a degree in clinical psychology, so let me know and I'll go see him as well.

OF: Eddies already said what we spoke about in the changing room, but I guess what we're most disappointed about as players is we didn't get any momentum in the second half, or be able to wrestle that back.

OF: I don't think they surprised us.

OF: Every team tries to put nine an 10 under pressure. They put their nine on me to rush the kicks which probably happened a few times. I though Ben (Youngs) kicked very well, but we can definintely be better in some areas.

EJ: (Curry) played tough. He's a young kick and you talk about the atmosphere, I thought he handled it very well.

EJ on Sinckler: I know a lot has been made of it because of Warren's comments before, but he's only a young guy. Look after him guys, he's a bloody good player.
