    FT: England 62-24 Wales

    Wales head coach Sean Lynn speaking on BBC Two: "Yeah look, I asked the girls for character, and before 12 months ago we would've flopped and fallen away, to get a bonus point I can't fault the character."

    On Seren Lockwood and Keira Bevan: "In camp we have a lot of competitiveness in those positions in camp, I thought Keira did control the game and gave us that edge. Her composure was brilliant today."

    On Alisha Joyce returning: "She's incredible and it goes to show the professionalism of Alisha. She's been brilliant all week. To do that on this platform it's really exciting to have that competitiveness in the back row."

    On the upcoming fixtures: "How we review these games, next week we will make sure we're improving and we will build into the last two games."

  3. 'Credit to Wales'published at 16:27 BST

    FT: England 62-24 Wales

    Emily Scarratt, England's attack coach speaking to BBC Two: "You're always in a Test match against Wales. They're so competitive, they're always passionate about wearing the shirt. Credit to them but we still got a pretty good job done."

    On England's performance against Wales: "It wasn't perfect, some of it just didn't come off. Conceding four try's is always a little bit daunting."

    Are we worried as followers about England's injuries? : "Part of the job, everything that's going on with injuries, it's posing us different challenges. It's giving us different things to think about for sure."

    On Wales: "It's awesome, we spoke about how Wales haven't had the results they wanted, but at lot of their stats are trending really well. They have some talent coming through. The future is really bright for them."

    The bench came on when Wales were struggling, and they gave Wales some energy to finish the game.

    Seren Lockwood was brilliant offensively and defensively as well.

  5. 'We're closing that gap'published at 16:22 BST

    FT: England 62-24 Wales

    Wales captain Bethan Lewis on BBC Two: "We know we're not the finished article, but we're making progress. To get a try-scoring bonus point, I don't think anyone has done it against England in the Six Nations since 2023. We've got more to do but we can be proud of aspects of our performance. We showed great character.

    "The bench coming on brought incredible energy to get the two tries at the end. The young talent we've got coming through, Seren Lockwood at the end there. We're showing character and progressing. We're closing that gap against the top team in the world."

    Maddie Feaunati was my player of the match, she was everywhere.

    If I were the England coaches I'd be wondering how I can wrap her up in cotton wool for the remainder of the tournament.

    The bonus point is a little victory for Wales.

    We scored two tries in the first half, two in the second, for me that is a big success. To finish that game was a try, showed a great mentality for me.

    It is thoroughly well deserved. Kayleigh Powell and Seren Lockwood have been instrumental and they get their reward.

    I was just singing her praises, fantastic from Seren, which fittingly means star in Welsh!

    And she sure is a future one.

    Keira Bevan's conversion flies wide and that's the game. England's unbeaten run continues.

    Wales can be really proud of their performance.

    Wales have a bonus-point try right at the death!

    They do recycle the ball superbly and Bethan Lewis, as she's falling, feeds Seren Lockwood who crosses in the corner.

    The line-out leads to a maul but it's not going anywhere. Wales will have to recycle.

    Twenty seconds left. Wales kick a penalty into the corner. Are we going to see a third special line-out variation?

    By the way it's 26,247 in attendance. A sell-out in the sun.

    Two minutes to go, can Wales get a fourth try to get a bonus-point?

    Surely the hardiest of England fans won't deny them that.

    It is the handling from England, the ability to put 20-30 metre passes out wide, flat and receive them.

    And they are just so dangerous when they do it, really great to see.

    Two and a bit minutes to go. Wales have a scrum in midfield on the shady side of the ground.
