WALES U21 coach Chris Davey paid tribute to his side's first-half performance as Wales got off to the perfect start with a 32-21 victory over England.

Wales went into the break 27-6 up, scoring four tries without reply as they completely blew England away.

And it was that first-half performance which pretty much secured victory for Davey's side, despite a second-half fightback.

He said: "Our focus going into this game was to dictate the opposition and to control the style and pace of the game.

"And in the first-half we did that. We went out and performed and executed exactly the type of game we were looking to play and I'm delighted with my side."

England outside-half Ross Broadfoot got things started sending over a straight-forward penalty after Wales had strayed off-side, but it was all downhill for his side from then on.

It didn't take Wales long to hit-back with an excellent try which started with a mazy run from Newport full-back Ricky Williams after a quick line-out from Aled Brew.

Williams was eventually tackled in England's 22 and after great recycling from the Welsh three-quarters, the forwards took over with prop Cai Griffiths driving over from close range.

Matthew Jones added the extras and minutes later he sent over a penalty to give Wales a healthy 10-3 lead.

Jones then kicked from inside his own half to further the lead to 13-3 as Wales further stamped their authority on the game.

With 30 minutes on the clock England had their uphill task made worse when forward Sean Cox was sin-binned.

It was harsh on Cox with Richard Blaze seeming to be the chief offender when he stamped on the head of a Welsh player.

The incident sparked a brawl which could have seen several others sent off but luckily for Blaze he escaped punishment.

It was Wales who scored next with a try from flanker Rhys Shellard, bundling himself over from close range after another impressive break.

The ever-reliable boot of Jones added the conversion as Wales headed towards the break with a decent 20-3 lead.

But rather then resting on their laurels Wales scored again for their third converted try of the game with wing Chris Czekaj running unchallenged from half-way to score for 27-3.

Wales started the second-half as they ended the first with an excellent try in the corner from Czekaj. England hit back with a try, their first of the game, from captain Tom Rees who collected Broadfoot's cross-field kick to bundle over in the corner.

As the half wore England came into the game managing two late tries.

The first came through flanker James Haskell and then former Wales under-21 winger James Wellwood scored in the corner, although it was academic by this stage.
