England beat Wales by 33 points to 30 in an entertaining game, securing the Triple Crown and drawing level with France at the top of the table.
Eddie Jones' men got off to a great start as Anthony Watson, on his return from injury, reached out to score a try within the first four minutes.
The visitors almost got a try of their own only a few minutes later, but the TMO deemed the ball to be knocked on just before the line.
The Welsh were awarded a penalty from a scuffle in the aftermath of the potential grounding with Leigh Halfpenny slotting it through the posts.
Farrell and Halfpenny traded penalties to make it 10-6 to England, before Elliot Daly went over in the corner for the home side’s second try.
The two goal-kickers once again traded penalties to leave it England 20-9 Wales at the break.
Wales couldn’t have asked for a better start to the second half, however, with Justin Tipuric scoring beneath the posts after a lovely move straight from the kick-off.
