Martin Johnson (ENG) - Captain
On whether the match was tough:
"Particularly in the first half, they defended well. We had a lot of ball, a lot of territory, but we struggled. In the second half, we pretty much dominated."
On Wales' performance:
"Their defence was fabulous. Credit to them. They played very well."
Clive Woodward (ENG) - Coach
On whether he was relieved with the result:
"Extremely relieved. It's a World Cup game. We had to win the match. We're not playing anywhere near where we can and we're still winning. I think that's a sign of a good team."
On what he said at half-time with England losing 10-3:
"There were pretty harsh words at half time, a bit of colourful language, but we got the job done."
On the upcoming match against France:
"If we play like today, we've got no chance, so we've got to up the ante. "
Mike Catt (ENG) - Centre
On the match and the Welsh performance:
"It was very very tough, we never underestimated the Welsh, they came in as underdogs and played very, very well."
On the mood in the England dressing room at half time:
"It was very composed to be honest."
"We knew where we wanted to be, in a Semi Final at a World Cup and we've got a chance to be in it now."
Phil Vickery (ENG) - prop
On whether the match was tough:
"Extremely tough. We always knew they would be tough. They certainly came out and gave it their all, as we did."
On the first half:
"We made the mistakes. They scored the tries and you can't really grumble about it."
Steve Hansen (WAL) - Coach
On the result:
"Obviously I'm very proud of them ... we didn't get up but they (Wales) played very well."
"It was good (rugby) from both teams ... both sides came to play and they did."
Colin Charvis (WAL) - Captain
On Wales' performance:
"The guys are very disappointed in the result. We thought we had a good chance, especially going in at half time, but unfortunately England were a bit too strong for us in the second half."
On the future of Welsh rugby:
"We have accomplished a lot over the last few weeks ... now we have a Six Nations tournament to look forward to ... I think in a few years this (Wales team) will be a good side."
Stephen Jones (WAL) - flyhalf
On the Welsh loss:
"We're bitterly disappointed that we lost the game considering we created chances."
On why England won:
"From a Welsh perspective we defended well in the first half... (we knew) that we had to keep defending (in the second half) and we tired."
