Wales 7-33 England, 42 mins

Dangerous play by Itoje roughly 30 seconds into the second half with a neck roll on Dewi Lake, who has come on for Elliot Dee at hooker as part of an all-changed front row

It’s in the 22, they have to go to the corner, but it’s not brilliant by Anscombe. Should be five metres out, it’s more like seven or eight. And Wales then mess up the lineout! England have a scrum

KICK-OFF! Wales 7-33 England

Back underway in Cardiff. Surely no way back for Wales but they did give Scotland a scare from a long way behind last week

Luke Baker15 March 2025 17:51

Former Wales captain Sam Warburton on BBC Sport:

“In a nutshell England have just physically dominated Wales. Wales are just struggling to go forward, it doesn’t feel like they are making inroads when they get the ball.

“When England get the ball they are so powerful, if it’s not at scrum time or maul time, it’s their carrying and we know they have the athletes to do that. That’s why England have stayed in games throughout the Six Nations because they can always rely on that physical dominance.”

Tommy Freeman makes England Six Nations history with try against Wales

Tommy Freeman has become the first England men’s player to score a try in all five games in a single Six Nations campaign.

The Northampton Saints back, relocated from the wing into the centres for the clash in Cardiff, crossed the whitewash again against Wales to register his seventh Test try and match the achievement of Philippe Bernat-Salles.

The former France wing was previously the only player to score in every game in a campaign since Italy’s addition formed the Six Nations 25 years ago, with Bernat-Salles doing so in the 2001 tournament.

Louis Bielle-Biarrey will have the chance to join his compatriot and Freeman if he can continue his outstanding form with another try against Scotland later on “Super Saturday”.

England run rampant in Cardiff

Wow. So much for an armwrestle – that was mighty, mighty good from England. They’ve had the rub of the green at times but it has been ruthlessly efficient from the visitors, utilising their forward might to turn the screw with their attack showing off a few fancy touches – both intentional and inadvertent, in the case of Ellis Genge’s bouncing bonce.

Wales did roar back from a similar deficit to nearly pip Scotland last week – but one fancies that the title chasers will keep their focus rather better, and start thinking about a proper statement performance.

HALF-TIME! Wales 7-33 England

WOW! A simply scintillating first 40 minutes from England. That has to be the best half of rugby in the Steve Borthwick era and maybe England’s best since the 2019 World Cup semi-final against New Zealand?

They’ve physically dominated Wales, run in five tries and have been brutally efficient with ball in hand. Wales have hardly fired a shot

TRY! Wales 7-33 England (Will Stuart, 40 mins)

England are running riot now! Will Stuart with the try on his 50th cap!

It’s a bit lucky as Itoje stumbles trying to pick the ball up at the back of a ruck but he doesn’t quite knock-on, the ball goes sideways.

Then after a couple of phases, Stuart rumbles over the line – more efficiency from England. Fin Smith shanks the kick for the extras wide but what a first 40 minutes for England!

England maybe not done there? Into the Welsh half and they’ll have a lineout

TRY! Wales 7-28 England (Chandler Cunningham-South, 39 mins)

And England have that fourth try! It’s powerful and efficient in the 22 once again.

Quick ball, flicked to Chandler Cunningham-South and he runs at Murray, powers through him for the try. Easy Smith conversion and England are in complete control.

Ben Curry with a nice carry into the 22 before Roebuck has a dart down the right again.

England pushing for a fourth try here.
