Your support makes all the difference.England enter the final day of the 2014 Six Nations in title contention after comfortably defeating Wales at Twickenham to secure a first Triple Crown since 2003.
Danny Care and Luther Burrell scored tries and Owen Farrell kicked 19 points, completing all seven of his shots at goal, in a match dominated by Stuart Lancaster's men.
Wales' hopes of completing an unprecedented hat-trick of Championship title wins were left in tatters, despite the best efforts of Leigh Halfpenny who kicked all their points.
Wales visited England's half but were met with a white wall and then hit on the counter on more than one occasion.
One break almost saw Burrell finish a wonderful passage of play in which Courtney Lawes showed remarkable hands, but the Northampton centre put a foot in touch before touching down.
Wales were disintegrating and ready to leak a third try and while England were unable to conjure the score their superiority deserved, last year's 30-3 rout in Cardiff had been avenged.
