    HT: England 16-0 Wales

    Richard Williams
    BBC Sport Wales at Twickenham

    "You won't find any Welsh fans complaining about the scoreline here. Most will be relieved it isn't more than 16-0.

    "However, the red contingent will have a complaint or two about the way their team has played.

    "Wales have been second best in all departments. Coach Warren Gatland will have to earn his corn with his half-time team talk."

    Callum Michael: Spineless performance by Wales, Itoje has more desire than the whole Welsh team combined, we should be 30+ down!!

    Rachel T: Been impressed with England's discipline too - given Wales absolutely nothing.

    Patrick Malone: The Welsh dragon seems sluggish in the lion's lair, will he wake up in the second half?

    "Wales assistant coach Shaun Edwards walked down the steps past me and he had a purpose. Nobody moved. He had a face of stone."

    "It will be less about what Warren Gatland says at half-time and more about what Shaun Edwards is like. Gats will be slightly quiet but Shaun will be the man to try and conjure up some inner spirit and imagination in how Wales use the ball."

    "The best 40 minutes of the Eddie Jones regime by far, with Maro Itoje - who he compared to a Vauxhall Viva a few weeks ago - putting in a Rolls-Royce of a display so far. This is only the lock's second start, but he has messed up the Welsh line-out, won turnovers and smashed through tackles to set up his side's try. Even bearing in mind the hosts' capitulation from this stage in the World Cup match last September, England should go on to win this without recourse to nails or knocking knees."

    Fine first-half performance by England, probably the best by any side during this year's championship. Wales have just been blitzed, and you're only as good as the other side lets you.

    Tom Edwards: Can you award MOTM after 37minutes? Maro Itoje is such a player! Incredible that this is his 3rd cap.

    Alex Dale: This Itoje boy is diamond!!!

    "Maro Itoje poached it in a way that Sam Warburton himself would have been very proud of. Fantastic defence from England. But that was the sort of three or four minutes Wales needed - grinding into England territory."

    It's difficult to remember the last time England played as well as this, it really is refreshing to see. England penalised this time at the scrum, Rob Evans doing the damage. Wales into England's 22 for only the second time... What a game Itoje is having, this time he's the hero at the breakdown. In defence, attack and at the set-piece, the Saracens lock has been magnificent.

    Jarleth Eaton: Wonderful try and England more than deserve that. Have Wales actually got off the bus yet?   

    Daniel Lewis: Wales could be in for a hiding here.

    Theo Bowyer: England totally dominant... Itoje is having a dynamic impact!

    "Watch Joe Marler - the speed of the ball from the base of the ruck with the pass to Maro Itoje. This time it wan't Ben Youngs it was Marler. All of it came from a scrum-half with number one on his back."

    And the floodgates finally open, Itoje bursting through the tackle, feeding Brown, who puts Watson in for his 10th try in 19 Tests. Farrell pops over the extras, Wales could be on the end of a drubbing.

    Brown is wrong-footed by a Gareth Davies clearance but here's Watson again, sucking up a high one but losing it on the floor. Youngs with a quick tap, Wales must be shattered.

    Cuthbert makes a mess of a Ford Garryowen and puts his side under more pressure inside their own 22. Ford with the grubber and that's well mopped up by Williams at full-back. Nowell bursts through a Biggar tackle and what a take that is by Watson. But it's a knock-on and Wales get the scrum... Bradley Davies getting treatment, looks like a dodgy shoulder.
