    Stuart Lancaster reflects on his England side coming from behind to beat Wales 21-16 in a thrilling Six Nations opener at the Millennium Stadium.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Stuart Lancaster, England manager

    "Yes obviously, we're just delighted to get the win first and foremost. Obviously being ten nil down and we closed the gap and I thought Dan Biggar's drop goal at half-time was a crucial moment so to go in at 16-8 we gave ourselves a bit of work to do. But I'm delighted with the second half performance and really feel like we upped our intensity and to get 13 unanswered points was great really and for a young side to come here and get the win is really pleasing."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Stuart Lancaster, England manager

    "Yes, I thought both tries were really well taken. I thought Mike Brown's attacking kicking game has really come on and is another strong to his bow, and Anthony (Watson) finished it well. And JJ. (Jonathan Joseph) We probably created three of four different opportunities in the second half but the one that JJ took was a special try."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Stuart Lancaster, England manager

    "... We've got four more games of the Six Nations to go, as have Wales. We've got World Cup camps to prepare for. We've got decisions to be made on squad selections going into the 31st of August when we name our 31 man squads. And we've got warm up games and everything to play for so I think it's a long way off. It's about the hear and now for me and it's about that. As Andy (Farrell) said, getting that victory for that young team away from home and I think it was great for us in terms of belief."
