Wales getting the advantage from some very dubious decisions from the officials.
Wales looking like a team that plays regularly and England looking as though they need a bit more practise.

Pitch adverts - happens all the time. RBS being the prime culprit.

Never thought England would win.
Great second half for England, quite how Haskell failed to ground the ball at the try line is a mystery to me. England seem to have a much better number 10 than previous. Is Joseph the new Will Greenwood ?

England favourites for the tournament now, good chance for the Grand Slam.

If they do achieve the GS, they would go in as joint favs for WC given the home factor.

With the injuries England have got that was a cracking performance really. Came into the game as underdogs but dominated the game in the second half, Wales never got a look in.

Flattering score line for Wales. Overpowered despite England's absentees. Another poor coaching performance from Gatland.

Thing is if you are going to let the TMO in, where was he for the first try when Falatau picked the ball up from the middle of the scrum?

Great win by England, very solid team, wait till they're all fit

Kruis, Watson, and Ford the standouts

Can't see past them for championship now will batter Italy and Scotland and beat France handy also, gaining huge points difference in the process. Beaten Ireland last 4 times too, great chance for the slam alright

Well done England on a very good and deserved win from this Welshman.

Think it'll be Ireland's championship this year.They're a cut above both sides tonight and I don't think England will be given as much time to hang on to the ball at the breakdown as they were in that game when they go to Dublin.

It was the same for Wales from the ref in the first half though.Also looked to me like George North was concussed twice in that game.Why on earth did Gatland leave him on.

Lawes will be back who's a huge addition. Wilson too, Cole was very rusty.

Corbs might come into reckoning yet also. They'll be a lot stronger again in a few weeks in fairness. On the back of steamrollering Italy too most likely

Ouch.

We were robbed! Couldn't believe the decision when......aw, nuts to it. Better side won and we didn't get a glimpse of a point in the second half. Stronger, sharper...just better all round.

Fair do's, Arnold Rimmer's double is a good coach; and seems like a very nice bloke. Still hurts, though!

Wales had a very poor second half, outscored 13-0.

Good win but I think you are reading too much into that.With the injuries Wales were favourites and England underdogs going in for once.England need one heck of a lot more in their back play if they're to win this tournament and contend for the World Cup. England were expected to rack up a points difference last year and the year before but failed both times to win the title.

Well done England, seemed to be fighting against the officials as well as the Welsh at times.

If there was a foul before the try, why wasn't the whistle blown when it was committed, not after an exciting looking try. Ruins the whole game

I feel quite flattered that England's team, coaches and supporters looked to be celebrating like they'd just won the World Cup in Cardiff against us

Be honest England supporters, were you seriously worried about losing heavily to us this evening because of your injuries? I thought Wales might win but it would only be by a few points if it had happened. Two years ago was a once in a lifetime scoreline against our neighbours.

Seemed to also be a lot of relief from the England camp in their celebrations.
