England head coach Stuart Lancaster has suggested that his side paid the price for "small" errors during their Rugby World Cup showdown with Wales at Twickenham.
The Red Rose led for the majority of the match and looked destined to pick up another victory in Pool A when an injury-hit Welsh side trailed by seven going into the final 10 minutes.
However, a converted try from Gareth Davies and long-range penalty from Dan Biggar was enough to hand Warren Gatland's men a famous 28-25 victory that leaves England's quarter-final hopes hanging by a thread.
"We were accurate first half, we were accurate across the board. Our set piece was good, our lineout was good, our scrum was excellent, we looked threatening in attack, we made good decisions when to kick or run," Lancaster told Sports Mole.
"Even in the second half it was a really good start for us, and there was probably a period around 60 or 70 minutes when Wales got their tails up and really put us under pressure.
"Some defensive decisions that we made allowed the line break which resulted in the try, and it's small moments like that in big games that matter."
England are now likely to need a victory over Australia next Saturday to stand any chance of reaching the knockout rounds.
