LONDON : England coach Steve Borthwick spent most of the Rugby World Cup lauding his team's ability to "find a way" and he was singing the same hymn after they battled back again to beat Wales 16-14 in the Six Nations at Twickenham on Saturday.In Rome, they trailed 10-0 before coming through 27-24 against Italy and they fell 14-5 down to Wales at halftime before overhauling them 16-14 thanks to a Fraser Dingwall try and the boot of George Ford."This is a team which stays in the fight, which finds a way.
It is a young side and we have a lot to learn, but we will grow together," Borthwick said."At halftime we were very composed and clear.
There was great leadership from Jamie (George). There was a determination to find a way and we had belief we would do. Our defence was excellent, there was control there, and there was some development in our attack."Against Italy we went to the edge 17 times and today we were not too far short of that on a greasy day - we showed some progress."Despite receiving two early yellow cards, Borthwick also hailed England's discipline as they gave away only one penalty in the second half, adding to six in the first, when Wales had not been penalised at all."We gave away eight last week and Maro Itoje set a target of seven this week," he said. "So to achieve that, after a 6-0 penalty count against us in the first half was excellent."Borthwick also praised the impact of his replacements, with hooker Theo Dan and abrasive flanker Chandler Cunningham-South enjoying impressive cameos."There were big contributions from the bench," the coach said. "It means you can increase the intensity.
