Three Six Nations games are played today but unfortunately the early Saturday games overlap with a Super Rugby game and a game in the Lions Challenge.
So, we’ve decided to do one combined Six Nations Article for the early games and a seperate one for the late evening game… giving progress and scores from both Six Nations matches.
Here it is…

Biggar slots the conversion.
Wales (9) 27 / 3 (3) England (67 min)
Wales get the penalty. England are just nowhere.
What a great game, England cant complain, they were thoroughly beaten
Wales are just embarrassing England now. Oh how the mighty have fallen!!!!! Another penalty Wales. Kickable
Wales (9) 30 / 3 (3) England (70 min)as Biggar does it again
This is just embarrasing!
Great to see the underdog have it’s day. And this was most certainly Wales’ day.
…..and thats why Flood should have started. I rest my case
What a kuk kick, geez!
THe balance between attack and defence by Wales has been sublime. It’s great when it all comes together on the night!
Nothing going right for England as they knock on again
Wales have been getting better and better all season and tonight they have peaked.
30 – 3 is really being violated!
5 min left and Wales with the put in on the halfway line.
@ The_Young_Turk:
what is the biggest win for Wales against England?
193 @ The_Young_Turk: Violation is exactly what came to my mind too!!!!
Yet another scrum penalty goes against England
Wales going for another one
Overconfidence loses Wales the ball, England run hard, but lose it too. Ends in an English knock on, and another potential penalty to Wales as a scrum is awarded
Poor poor Pommies! I feel so sorry for them – NOT, hee hee!
England i now humiliated, what a decisive win by Wales
MOM should go to entire Wales team today, played as a complete unit for once. Doos of the Match must surely go to the entire English team.
Over time now, as England desperately try to salvage something from the match
What a fitting end, as England knock on again. Well done Wales, well deserved. England. Back to the drawing borad, boys, you’ve gat a mountain to climb.
@ superBul:
This is the record score! Last biggest was 27 – 3
WALE THE CHAMPS!!!!
Wales (9) 30 / 3 (3) England (Final score)
@ superBul:
Hee hee, you missed the “S”. Changes the meaning slightly.
Very well done Wales. See you back here for the Scots in a bit.
@ The_Young_Turk:

After that GREAT win against the All Blacks last year i thought that England took the step UP
