Six Nations: Wales aim to repeat history and deny England championship silverware

11 April, 1999: Wales 32-31 England

London was the destination in 1999 with the game being played at Wembley as the Millennium Stadium was still being built.

So it was still a home match for Wales despite being staged in the English capital rather than the Welsh one.

The Stereophonics trailer for BBC Sport Wales ‘As long we beat the English’ was advertised before the game, while Tom Jones was part of the entertainment on show on a warm April afternoon.

Graham Henry’s side had beaten France in Paris after losing to Ireland and Scotland, while England were chasing the Grand Slam after an unbeaten campaign.

England were in control for most of the match, but a superb last-gasp try from Scott Gibbs denied England the title in dramatic fashion.

The 32-31 defeat for Clive Woodward’s team meant the final Five Nations championship was won by Scotland on points difference.

Centre Gibbs had side-stepped five England players to go over the line, and Neil Jenkins, who was immaculate with his kicking all afternoon, slotted over the winning points.

“Wembley was a special day,” said Jenkins.

“You only get a couple in your life or your career when you are playing.

“I’ve been lucky enough to be coaching as well and had some epic days against England, but it’s difficult to look passed that 1999 game.”
