Ten-try England end Ireland's faint Six Nations hopes

On Saturday, March 15, 2025, England defeated Wales 68-14 in a Six Nations rugby union match held at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, achieving a record 10-try drubbing.
Wales' defeat marked their 17th straight loss, equaling a losing run for Scotland between 1951-55, and resulted in them picking up the wooden spoon for finishing last for the second straight season.
England's dominant performance included tries from Maro Itoje, Joe Heyes, Tom Roebuck, Tommy Freeman, Chandler Cunningham-South, Will Stuart, Alex Mitchell, and two from debutant Henry Pollock, contributing to their four wins out of five in the tournament.
Tommy Freeman's try meant he scored in each game in this Six Nations edition, a feat that is a first for an English player, while Ben Thomas scored two tries for Wales.
With 19 points, England exited the tournament on a high, though France, four points behind with a points difference of +106, could clinch the title over Ireland, who were one point behind England, with a win over Scotland on Super Saturday in Paris.
