( CNN ) -- The last time Wales won a Six Nations rugby international at England 's home stronghold , the team went on to claim the 2008 title and complete a grand slam of victories against all competing countries . Four years on , Warren Gatland 's men are looking odds-on to repeat that success after snatching a 19-12 victory at Twickenham on Saturday for a third successive win in this year 's tournament . Substitute Scott Williams ' moment of late individual brilliance helped Wales come from 12-6 down , and a desperate try-saving tackle in the corner by fellow center Jonathan Davies condemned defending champions England to a first defeat under interim coach Stuart Lancaster . The Welsh were the best of the British nations at last year 's World Cup , reaching the semifinals before a heartbreaking defeat against eventual runners-up France in which captain Sam Warburton was sent off . England , however , had a disappointing time on and off the pitch , losing to France in the quarterfinals before an investigation into a series of incidents involving the players ended with 2003 World Cup winner Martin Johnson standing down as coach and ructions in the boardroom . Lancaster made a positive start with his new-look team , grinding out wins against Scotland and Italy , and four penalties from young new fly-half Owen Farrell gave the coach hope of another victory . However , Wales fought back from the second-half sin-binning of Farrell 's opposing No . 10 Rhys Priestland and drew level with fullback Leigh Halfpenny 's fourth successful kick . Then Williams stole the show in the 76th minute as he ripped the ball away from England replacement Courtney Lawes , kicked downfield and gathered the ball for the game 's only try , which Halfpenny converted . England roared back down the other end and threatened to score , but after spinning the ball out wide to the right , winger David Strettle was held up over the line -- forcing a decision from the video referee , which went in Wales ' favor . `` We knew it would be the toughest game and it was so tough . We are over the moon to get the Triple Crown here , '' Warburton said after his team followed up victories over Scotland and Ireland . `` I am not going to say what the last team who won here in 2008 went on to do but people involved with that team say we have a really strong squad this time around . However , we will set aside thoughts of that and the Italy game in a fortnight and enjoy this for the moment . '' Earlier on Saturday , Ireland ended a run of three home defeats by beating Italy 42-10 in Dublin for the 2009 champions ' first win this season . Winger Tommy Bowe scored two of his side 's five tries , while Jonathon Sexton kicked 17 points as the visitors lost for the third successive time . France -- the only other unbeaten team so far , albeit after having played only one game -- will visit winless Scotland on Sunday . Les Bleus ' postponed match against Ireland will take place next weekend while the other nations rest .
