- England 23-19 Wales
- Alex Dombrandt try gives hosts 17-0 lead but Wales battle back
It was not always straightforward or particularly pretty but England’s Six Nations title hopes are still afloat.
Six penalties from the man of the match Marcus Smith, a burgled 43rd minute try by Alex Dombrandt and some last quarter defensive grit were just enough to see off a spirited Wales on a cool still evening in south-west London, with Ben Youngs’ record-breaking 115th cap for his country adding to the quiet sense of red rose achievement.
