Wales the 6 Nations champions after a stunning win over England

A 30-3 win at the Millennium Stadium means the Welsh retain their title.

WALES ARE THE Six Nations champions following an emphatic win over England at the Millennium Stadium.

Wales went into the contest needing to beat Stuart Lancaster’s men by more than seven points.

A rout ensued after huge periods of dominance in both halves in a 30-3 home win that dashed England’s championship and Grand Slam dreams.

Leigh Halfpenny’s penalties put his side 9-3 in front before untold Welsh pressure forced the visiting defence to crack.

Alex Cuthbert scored two tries, the second after superb, quick hands from Justin Tipuric, and Dan Biggar chipped in with a drop goal, penalty and conversion too.

Speaking to the BBC after the game, Tipuric said, “Everyone worked so hard for each other. The boys were outstanding.

“We knew what we had to do. We’ve been ready for this game since Monday.”
