"I know me and Martyn have been 7s in the past, but Tom Curry has been absolutely magnificent for England. Just his ball-carrying, his tackling, he's cleaning out rucks and his try, which was a really clever one. "He's been absolutely everywhere and he has really epitomised the England performance. 17 tackles already. I mean that is almost unheard of for a half in international rugby. Tom Curry has been magnificent."From a man that has waged many a war with the English, that is some compliment from Warburton. Wales roared back into the game after the break and got to within a point of England. Just as the home crowd sensed the game was there to be won, with an hour gone on the clock, Curry dipped in to secure his second turnover of the game as he latched onto the felled Hadleigh Parkes. Penalty England and Farrell lapped it over to make it 13-9. At that point, though, Dan Biggar took over. Pressed into service for the finale, he teed up lock Cory Hill for the match-leading try. Wales had their tails up and Biggar helped them clinch it with a cross-kick for Josh Adams, that he somehow caught, gathered and lunged for the try in one of THE great scores of this year's championship. In the end, Curry could not even console himself with the man-of-the-match award. That went to the soaring, sublime Liam Williams. "They got what they deserved, ultimately," Johnson admitted not long after the final whistle sounded.
