Wales have crumbled to their second consecutive Six Nations wooden spoon for the first time in history. They were thrashed by title chasing England 68-14 in Cardiff on Saturday afternoon, compounding their previous four defeats to finish rock bottom of the Championship.

After a penalty granted England easy entry into the Welsh 22, a nifty maul manoeuvre created room on the fringes. There was a suspicion of a knock on as the ball popped up to Itoje, but the officials saw no reason to disallow the score once the visiting skipper had biffed through inside three minutes.
