Six Nations 2023: Wales 10-20 England - English triumph heaps misery on hosts
A frantic first half saw the teams separated by a try from England wing Anthony Watson.
Wales have endured their worst start in the tournament since 2007 and have to travel to face Italy and France as they bid to avoid a first Six Nations whitewash in 20 years. An 11th-hour agreement struck between the national squad and Welsh rugby bosses on Wednesday evening averted a potential strike over player contracts that would have seen this game called off.
Grady formed a midfield partnership with Joe Hawkins, who was the same age and winning just his fourth cap, while Owen Williams made his first Test start in the fabled Wales number 10 jersey. England were intent on silencing the crowd after a emotive week for the Welsh players. They managed to do just that.England's back row trio all made an early impression with Alex Dombrandt taking a towering high ball, Jack Willis achieving a turnover and Lewis Ludlam impressing in attack and defence.
