New coach Warren Gatland announced his arrival by masterminding Wales' first Twickenham triumph since 1988 - and they did it the hard way, fighting back from 19-6 adrift to score 20 unanswered points during a remarkable 13-minute spell in the second half.

Full-back Lee Byrne and scrum-half Mike Phillips scored tries to tilt the balance of a gripping encounter, while fly-half James Hook kicked 16 points.

Gatland's decision to field a record 13 Ospreys in his starting line-up was totally vindicated as England were unceremoniously grounded.

The home side suffered a savage quadruple injury setback, with wing David Strettle, flanker Lewis Moody, centre Mike Tindall and Moody's fellow back-row forward Tom Rees all being forced off.

It means England head coach Brian Ashton has some tough decisions to make before his players head to Rome.

Strettle's exit meant a debut for ex-Bradford Bulls star Lesley Vainikolo, the Tonga-born New Zealand rugby league international who qualifies for England on residency.

And Vainikolo provided a highlight of the game, with his delicate offload that led to centre Toby Flood touching down.

Fly-half Jonny Wilkinson also contributed 14 points for the shell-shocked hosts.
