Justin Tipuric: 'Wales will not point the finger after third successive loss'

Wales flanker Justin Tipuric scored two tries at Twickenham.

Justin Tipuric says that panicking and "pointing the finger" are not on Wales' agenda after suffering a third-successive Guinness Six Nations defeat.

It is something they have not experienced since 2007, with a 33-30 loss to England following reversals against Ireland (24-14) and France (27-23).

Thirteen years ago, Wales ended up winning just one of five games, beating England in Cardiff, although they will better that outcome if they see off Scotland next Saturday.

"It was frustrating that we gave ourselves so much to do (Wales trailed 20-9 at half-time).

"After starting the second-half well, we had a few silly exits in the game that gave them easy three points, and then there were some silly mistakes which is the old cliche we keep saying that we need to sort out.

"There were a few silly errors – game-management stuff – that got England back into the game, and then they pulled away a bit."

With world rankings deciding seedings for the 2023 World Cup draw in late November, Wales face a testing second phase of the year.

"We want to finish the Six Nations on a high, have a good performance and get a result.

"It's those one per centers and easy fixes. Hopefully, we can put them right.

"They (England) played to their strengths. They have got a game-plan and they stick to it.

"It was not so much about the fancy rugby, but they grind teams down and batter you."
