Ollie Devoto helped England under-20s succeed where their senior counterparts failed as they lifted the Six Nations title with victory in Wales on Friday night.
The Bath Rugby youngster started at full-back as the visitors took the crown for an unprecedented third time on the trot with an impressive 28-15 win at Eirias Park.
He exited the action when he was replaced by Worcester's Ben Howard with seven minutes to go.
The tie was on knife edge for large parts of the game and Wales fly-half Sam Davies was a constant threat with the boot, but two tries from flanker Harry Wells and one from wing Jack Nowell gave England the win, with number ten Henry Slade adding 13 points.
Wales took the game to England in the opening ten minutes and were rewarded with the first points, Davies kicking a penalty to put them 3-0 up. But England hit straight back and a nice break from scrum-half Callum Braley eventually freed up LV= Breakthrough Player of the Year winner Nowell to touch down in the corner.
On 17 minutes Wales regained the lead as Davies' second penalty made it 6-5. Slade had the chance to restore England's advantage but saw his kick sail wide. Davies then slotted his third successful kick of the night with 25 minutes gone to make it 9-5.
Slade brought England to within a point with his first successful kick of the night, a penalty from just inside his own half. And as the half drew to a close England opted for touch instead of posts, a decision justified as back row Wells touched down for his first England try, converted by Slade. Wales were also reduced to 14 men when number eight Ieuan Jones was sent to the sinbin for repeat offenses.
The hosts started the second period as they had the first, putting England under pressure which was eventually rewarded when Davies stroked over his fourth penalty. Slade hit straight back for England to make the score 18-12.
A Slade drop goal increased the gap to nine points but Davies returned fire with his fifth penalty of the night to make it 21-15.
Wales pushed on, knowing a converted try would win them the championship, but it was England who had the final say. Slade again opted for touch with points on offer but a strong driving maul was touched down by Wells try for his second to give England the win.
Departing head coach Rob Hunter said: "It's a massive achievement and the guys deserve all the credit – they're a hard working group and this trophy is their reward for the work that they have put in. Wales gave it a real go and full credit to them, we never felt comfortable."
Captain Jack Clifford added: "I'm so happy for all of the boys and all of the management, everyone works so hard and to end up with this trophy as captain is a dream come true. Massive credit to the Welsh though, at no point did we feel like the game was won until the final whistle blew."
