England heaped more misery on troubled Wales with a scrappy 20-10 Six Nations victory in Cardiff.

Wales wing Louis Rees-Zammit managed an intercept try before England responded with scores from Kyle Sinckler and Ollie Lawrence.

Wales’ players had threatened to go on strike in the build-up and could not overcome their troubled preparation.

They have now lost 12 of their last 15 games and suffered a third successive Six Nations defeat since Warren Gatland’s return as head coach.

In another match, Ireland defeated Italy 34-20.
