England have won their first Triple Crown since 2003 after beating Wales 29-18 at Twickenham on Sunday.

It was Stuart Lancaster’s side’s first victory over the Welsh in four attempts and keeps England in the running with France and Ireland to claim the Six Nations title next weekend.

Tries from Danny Care and Luther Burrell were augmented by 19 points from the boot of Owen Farrell.

Six Leigh Halfpenny penalties were not enough for Warren Gatland’s side, who were second best throughout.
