When it was all over, the wonder was that Wales got away with it. They may have been nine points up at half-time but they came under intolerable pressure afterwards and it seemed they had to break before it.

Warren Gatland said he felt as if his team had forgotten how to lose after they came back from 16-0 down to beat France in the opening round. Six weeks later they proved this was true. This win was one of their great escapes.
