Player Ratings: Wales

OPINION: England have beaten Wales 19-17 in their international match at Twickenham in what was scrappy and at times chaotic affair in west London.

Here is how the Wales' players rated

15 Liam Williams – 8/10

Provided a threat to England throughout the game. Elusive in attack and always looking for work.

14 Josh Adams – 6

Won his 50th cap and was denied a try by an illegal Freddie Steward tackle.

13 Joe Roberts – 8

An outstanding debut by the Scarlets centre, who ran and tackled strongly. Created a try for Tomos Williams and put himself firmly in the World Cup selection mix.

12 Nick Tompkin – 7

An accomplished performance in attack and defence from the Saracens centre. Showcased all his experience.

11 Tom Rogers – 5

A quiet game from the Scarlets wing, although he compiled one threatening attacking moment from limited opportunities.

10 Owen Williams – 6

Whether he did enough to make Wales’ final World Cup squad remains to be seen, but a solid contribution. 6

9 Tomos Williams – 8

Comfortably Wales’ first-choice number nine. Scored a try and was impressive in all areas.

1 Gareth Thomas – 6

Recovered well to lift Wales’ scrummaging effort following early England control.

2 Dewi Lake – 5

The hooker’s first game as Wales captain ended after just 26 minutes when he limped off, giving head coach Warren Gatland a major pre-World Cup scare.

3 Tomas Francis – 6

Did his job, but could come under pressure for a World Cup starting place.

4 Rhys Davies – 6

Offers Wales second-row and back-row options, which could serve him well in terms of World Cup selection.

5 Adam Beard – 5

Took over the captaincy after Lake went off, but blotted his copybook with a late yellow card that led to England’s match-winning penalty.

6 Dan Lydiate – 6

A solid defensive shift from the experienced flanker, who could find himself part of another World Cup squad.

7 Tommy Reffell – 6

Was yellow-carded for a technical offence, but also showed some impressive glimpses in attack and defence.

8 Taine Plumtree – 5

Another player whose evening ended early after he suffered what appeared an arm injury. It was a mixed-bag performance before then.

Replacements – 6

A big effort from the Wales replacements, but they could not offer a sufficient enough collective impact as England fought back.
