Early in the second quarter Wales were unable to contain England’s fast-paced play, which saw them push ahead to 19–10. By the closing stages of the second quarter, England had stretched their lead to 27–15 and added another before the break, taking a 28–15 lead into half-time. England hit their 4,000th World Youth Cup goal with seven minutes left on the clock, marking a historic moment across their nine appearances at the competition. Wales also gave all their players court time, but ultimately had to accept defeat to a dominant England side.
