Wales stuns England to open up Six Nations
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 23 - 02 - 2019

Wales blew the Six Nations wide open with an epic 21-13 victory over England Saturday as late tries for Cory Hill, after a monumental 30-phase goal-line assault, and Josh Adams at the death secured a national record 12 successive victory.
England was leading 13-9 after a first-half Tom Curry try and looked set to make it three wins in a row before the hosts turned the match, and the championship, with a relentless attack that sent Hill over 12 minutes from time.
Winger Adams then caught a high kick in the corner to settle it and send the Principality Stadium into raptures.
Wales top the standings on 12 points, with England second on 10, though, thanks to their earlier bonus points and with home games against Italy and Scotland to come, they are still well-placed to win the title.
France, which beat Scotland 27-10 earlier Saturday, has six, with the Scots on five. Ireland, on four points, visits bottom side Italy Sunday.
In Paris, fly-half sensation Romain Ntamack fired France to their first victory of this year's Six Nations to leave the injury-hit visitors without a victory in the French capital in 20 years.
Ntamack, who has started at No. 10 in just three games for his Top 14 club Toulouse, was preferred by coach Jacques Brunel in the key playmaking role to Camille Lopez and proved his worth throughout the match, be it in defence or sparking his team in attack.
The French had lost 10 of its last 13 games going into the Scotland encounter, having fallen to Wales in their opening championship match before being hammered 44-8 by England, their heaviest loss to the 'Rosbifs' since 1911. — Reuters
