Wales has pulled off a remarkable 28-25 win over England in the Rugby World Cup pool A match in Twickenham.
Gareth Davies' spectacular try for Wales with ten minutes to go flipped the contest on its head after they had trailed for over 40 minutes.
A kicking contest under high pressure was always expected and the two fly‑halves duly obliged, Dan Biggar responding to the challenge with seven penalties, the last of which from the half‑way line sealed a dramatic turnaround.
Even losing both Scott and Liam Williams to serious injuries in the second half couldn't stop Wales from a resounding turnaround.
Man of the match, Dan Biggar says it’s a huge achievement for the team.
Earlier today, South Africa got their Rugby World Cup campaign back on track with a convincing 46‑6 win over Samoa thanks to a hat‑trick from JP Pietersen.
A week on from their shock loss to Japan, the Springboks came out with intensity from the off.
Samoa led early with two Mike Stanley penalties and were the better team until the fly‑half was picked off by Pietersen for a try against the run of play.
That changed the complexion of the game, and the Springboks, led by the brilliant Eben Etzebeth used all their experience to open up a 17‑6 half‑time lead.
Pietersen's second try early in the second half put the result beyond doubt, and South Africa were helped by Samoa's stubborn decisions to keep taking tough shots at goal when trailing by three scores.
In another match this morning, Italy were given a mighty scare on but managed to see off Canada, winning 23‑18.
Meanwhile, Australia will clash with Uruguay at 11 tonight, Scotland will play USA at 1.30am tomorrow while Ireland will play Romania at 3.45am.
