Wales captain Sam Warburton: ”We got the bonus point which is what we wanted. Stephen Jones has got the appearances record - he is a Welsh great.”
In all fairness, he did seem a little embarrassed when they announced it on the tannoy - 20 tackles today though.

Adam, the Welshman living in Liverpool, via 81111: ”Fully agree with abbey_lou! Good to see our boys finally putting the pressure on and performing at their best.”
Wales score their 11th try but it’s the first for Lee Byrne. Prop Bevington picks up a kick, the ball moves from left to right and a good offload from Leigh Halfpenny finds Byrne who goes over from a metre out. The conversion is missed.
