Wales is sinking a little deeper into the crisis.

The Leek XV indeed lost this Saturday at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff against England, on behalf of the 3rd day of the Six Nations Tournament.

The English scored three tries not Watson (18th), Sinckler (44th) and Lawrence (75th), against only one for the Welsh thanks to Rees-Zammit (40th).

The Welsh – who hit the headlines with the threat of a players' strike and a federation shaken by accusations of sexist behavior – concede a third defeat in this edition, after yielding at home against Ireland then in Scotland.

On the return of the lemons, winger Rees-Zammit, back in the Welsh group, will wake up the Principality Stadium on an interception.

Following, the men of Borthwick will react and Sinckler, in force, scores the second English test.

In a slow-paced second act, both teams won't score any more points, until the 75th minute.
