But they bounced back by beating Italy to nil in Rome the following week.

Wales meanwhile got their title defence off to the worst possible start as they were hammered 29-7 in Ireland.

However, the Dragons’ record at Twickenham leaves a lot to be desired as they haven’t won there since their famous 28-26 Rugby World Cup triumph in 2015.
