England coach Stuart Lancaster admitted that he was pleased with his team's display, despite a 19-12 defeat to Wales at Twickenham in the Six Nations.
The inexperienced hosts matched their opponents for large parts of the match before Scott Williams's 75th-minute try condemned them to their first defeat of the tournament.
"Part of developing a side is giving them experience and I think both sides will look back at the game and wonder about what they could have done differently," Lancaster told BBC Sport.
"Wales are a team who have been together a long, long time and we are a team that has been together for three weeks. We should take great credit from that."
England continue their campaign on Sunday, March 6 when they travel to France.
