While much is made of England’s Millennium Stadium implosion the last time they visited Cardiff two years ago, subsiding to a record 30-3 defeat, Wales fell away 11 months ago in south-west London.

Only Halfpenny’s superb goal-kicking kept them in the contest, but his six penalties were eclipsed as England prevailed 29-18.
