Wales vs England LIVE RESULT: Red Rose earn RECORD win with TEN TRIES as they remain in hunt for Six Nations
ENGLAND earned a RECORD WIN against Wales to remain in the hunt for the Six Nations trophy!
The Red Rose pouted in TEN TRIES against a hapless Wales, who are without a win in over 500 days.
England scored two tries in the opening ten minutes and barely let their foot off the gas, earning a bonus point before half-time and then scoring another six tries.
England needed a bonus point win and then need Scotland to beat France to win the tournament, while Wales have been handed second successive wooden spoon for the first time in the Six Nations era.
