Wales took a giant step towards winning this year’s Six Nations title when it claimed a hard-fought 21-13 triumph over England in Cardiff this morning.

BBC Sports reports both teams came into this fixture as the only unbeaten teams in the competition which meant there was plenty of hype in the build-up and that was certainly justified as the sides gave their all for the full 80 minutes.
