[QUOTE="carter1979, post: 173658"] Definitely have to disagree with you there. It wasn't a simple case of one or the other. It was a combination of the two. Once Wales got the Penalty early on, a couple of the Wales players heads went up, in particular, Gavin Henson and he started to run at the England defence a lot more. Additionally, Wales were getting their own ball out of the rucks a lot more easily. At the same time, when England had the ball, they were squandering it needlessly and putting themselves under pressure. At the same time Wales heads went up, Englands heads went down, they werent necessarily linked initially, but both things happened and at the same time. The more Wales competed, the more mistakes England made, the more England made mistakes, the more England competed. I don't think it's as simple as saying "Wales sorted out their problems from the first half and thats what won it" nor "England just imploded and thats what lost it" It's very difficult to pinpoint exactly what happened, but Wales raising their game was one of the factors in the turn of fortune, therefore, you cannot possibly label this result purely and simply as "England lost it without question" [/QUOTE]
