Wales head coach Warren Gatland has said that his side "wanted it more" during their 28-25 victory over England at the Rugby World Cup.
A late comeback from the Welsh handed them a famous victory in the Pool A clash at Twickenham despite the visitors being on the back foot for the majority of the match.
The odds appeared to be stacked against Gatland's side when their already injured-ravaged team was hit by a further three players being forced off, but the New Zealand-born coach believes that the "courage" shown from his players saw them through.
"We've run out of players at the moment. Today was about courage and no-one knows more than the group of players how hard they've worked in the last three months and they dug deep today," Gatland told Sports Mole.
"We spoke beforehand about the responsibility and leadership that a lot of players had taken, and this game was about emotion and being in the game. The teams I've been involved with in the past - if you want it badly enough for whatever reason it can happen for you.
"You've just got to dig deep and as a coach the way that these players stuck at their task and took the points and kept playing - we were a bit more expansive in the second half - I can't ask for any more. They dug as deep as they did and I think we wanted it more in the end."
The victory leaves Wales in pole position to reach the quarter-finals from Pool A, while England's chances are likely to hinge on their match against Australia next Saturday.
