This is the official channel for the Guinness Six Nations - Rugby's Greatest Championship The tone was set within ten minutes. Fly-half George Ford, operating with the calm of a grandmaster, orchestrated an opening half that often felt like a high-intensity training run. His flat, fizzing pass to young wing Henry Arundell for the opening try was a masterclass in timing. Wales, already struggling with the pace, saw their discipline disintegrate under the shadow of their own posts. In a chaotic sequence around the 18-minute mark, both front rowers Nicky Smith and captain Dewi Lake were dispatched to the sin-bin in quick succession. Down to 13 men, the Welsh dam burst. Ford, sensing blood, exploited the numerical advantage with a pinpoint cross-field kick to Arundell for his second, before Ben Earl - a rampaging presence throughout - powered over in the corner. When centre Fraser Dingwall scooped up a loose offload by opposite number Ben Thomas to put Arundell over for his hat-trick before the half-hour mark, the bonus point was secured and the contest was effectively over. England’s depth was on full display as Maro Itoje and Luke Cowan-Dickie entered the fray to a roar of approval. Even a yellow card for Itoje - sent to the bin seconds after coming on - couldn’t halt the momentum. Wing Tom Roebuck, a late call-up for the injured Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, claimed his sixth international try after a slick Dingwall assist, and a late penalty try further compounded Welsh misery after Taine Plumtree’s high hit on a surging Henry Pollock. Despite a late yellow card for Tom Curry, England had the final word. Wing-turned-centre Tommy Freeman capped off a dominant personal performance by crossing in the final play, taking the score near the half-century mark For England, it was a ruthless start to 2026. For Wales, it is a sobering reminder of the distance between their new generation and the summit of the Championship. ⬇️ Subscribe for highlights, interviews, features, classic archive and more! ⬇️ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL5bAcVfbxSAs-UM5f5ncWg
