WALES 0 ENGLAND 62

ENGLAND cruised to another win over Wales in this annual international between the two nations, but it wasn’t without a big effort from the home side.
The last couple of games between the two have been in England but this time around, with home support, Wales looked a more improved outfit.
When it got to 50 minutes, however, superior fitness certainly made a difference for England, as they ran in 34 points in the last half an hour.
England naturally made wholesale changes from their thrashing by Australia in Las Vegas with just eight players keeping their place in the side.
All eight were also among nine survivors from the England line-up who soundly beat Wales last November in Leeds while six of the remaining eight players in the England 18 were debutants.
