Guinness Six Nations: England 48 Wales 7Henry Arundell plundered a hat-trick of tries as England launched their Guinness Six Nations title quest by overwhelming Wales 48-7 at Allianz Stadium. But the drama extended beyond the scores with Wales’ early disciplinary wobble placing them in an impossible position. When a rare Welsh attack broke down, the ball was slipped to Arundell who completed his hat-trick before left wing Roebuck also got in on the action by crossing early in the second half. In a sign of how easy it had been, Roebuck had three unmarked white shirts outside him who could also have scored. Freeman had the final say with a powerfully finished try, although England will know they left points begging in the second half.
