Dragons roar in defeat

Writing for Walesonline, Delme Parfitt argues that Wales will take many positives from their trip to Twickenham despite ultimate defeat.

"Everyone said winning was the key for Wales at Twickenham, but Welsh supporters will not have left the ground in despair by any means.

"Narrow defeats in south-east London for the men in red jerseys have been rare in the last two decades. Only once have Wales won there in that time and on most other occasions they’ve retreated in despair, sometimes disgrace.

"Not this time though. And while four wins in 17 games is hardly the kind of record you want with a World Cup around the corner, Wales, with a host of front-line players absent, produced enough to suggest they could pose a bigger threat than some cynics expect come the serious stuff in New Zealand."
