After the momentous kick off to the 2011 RBS 6 Nations there is only one option for Video of the Day today and that’s to present you with some highlights from the titanic clash at the Millennium Stadium. How did Toby Flood slice through the England defence? And why did Jonathan Davies find it so easy to do the same to England in the second half with some sleight of hand? It’s all there.
