• Wales 14-68 England
• Henry Pollock scores two debut tries in Cardiff thrashing

There is no cauldron quite like Cardiff on a big match day. On this occasion, though, it was England who ran white hot on the final day of this see-sawing Six Nations season to earn a record-breaking 10-try demolition job, sealed by two eye-catching tries on his debut by the 20-year-old Northampton flanker Henry Pollock.

Any notion of a potentially tight, nervy affair was summarily blown away by Steve Borthwick's side, who have now won their last four Test matches on the trot. They were 33-7 up by half-time, with the glimpses of attacking promise evident over the past month coalescing into the most impressive and authoritative English display of the season.
