    FT: Wales 40-24 England

    Against the odds, Wales have secured the Triple Crown with a dramatic 40-24 win over England.

    The conversation and debate over Josh Adams and Liam Williams' first-half tries will go on late into the night.

    But Wayne Pivac and Wales won't mind one bit, as they make it three wins from three to top the Six Nations table.

    The result also marks the first time Wales have scored four tries in a single match against England since 1998 - and it's the highest points total they've managed in one game against their old rivals.

    A trip to Rome is next for Wales before what could be a Six Nations title-deciding weekend in Paris against France.

    For Eddie Jones and England it's games against France and Ireland that lie in wait.

    But until then, thank you all for joining us and enjoy the rest of your evening.

    England head coach Eddie Jones said on BBC One:

    "It is what it is. We can't argue with the referee. The result's there and we've got to accept it.

    "Maybe there were tough calls but we've got to be good enough to overcome that.

    "I'm not going to make a comment on it. I accept the referee's decision. We've got to be good enough to handle it.

    "Wales were worthy winners. I was pleased with how our players fought back to 24-24. The last play summed up our day. We did some fine work and they scored down the other end.

    "We're probably trying too hard. I thought the effort today was outstanding. It was a difficult game for us. We've got to be able to adapt to those emotional disruptions and officiating disruptions.

    "Maro Itoje gave away a few penalties today but he's such a good player and he'll learn from that."

    Jones is a busted flush playing one-dimensional and hugely underachieving given our talent pool. He should be sacked immediately and replaced with Shaun Edwards. We need a complete re-set prior to the next RWC.

    Fuming Fan

    I am still not understanding why players are being picked for the national team when they are not getting regular game time at the moment. Surely an opportunity to use players that haven't been in the international side yet and blood them? That would have been a better excuse for losing games than this indiscipline.

    The title is on the cards, without a doubt.

    If France play a midweek game against Scotland, that could play into Wales' hands. We don't know.

    The way it's going at the moment is in Wales' favour.

    Wales head coach Wayne Pivac told BBC One: "It's been a big few weeks for us, I'm very, very pleased for the players that put a big effort in this evening.

    "Some people will say it has been on our side the last three matches but you have to be in games to win them.

    "England put a lot of pressure on us and came back. It was a hell of a game and a lot of resilience from our boys.

    "When you give away that many penalties – one player five penalties – you are lucky to not to concede a yellow. You could argue either way.

    "He [Sheedy] made amends tonight and like all the players that came on, he made an impact.

    "We picked a squad to get results to win this tournament, we’ve had time together and a good bond in the group. They enjoy winning and hopefully we can press on further."

    Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones told BBC One: "We have had a tough time in the Nations Cup, we have shown character and we have had a bit of luck as well.

    "We are not the finished article, so pretty pleased with how it went.

    "Sometimes decisions happen and we are told to leave the referee alone, I’ve been told I am too familiar with referees at times.

    "I have played in a few games on the end of those decisions, it is up to the officials to make them.

    "We stuck to the plan and with a bit of belief you can achieve."

    Penalty count "its an issue it's an issue. We will have to look at it it". 20 minutes too late Owen. New captain required.

    Pete.

    Total professionalism from Owen Farrell in the post match interview. We all know how bad the ref was, let’s hope somebody in authority challenges this refereeing performance.

    Wales will be delighted with the manner of today.

    They were very competitive on the deck, their line-speed was good.

    They had two prime-scoring opportunities and they nailed them both. For all the Welsh public were hoping they would play side to side, Wales are very clinical at the moment.

    Former England scrum-half on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Discipline is a common theme for England. The same players give away a lot of penalty.

    It doesn't change throughout the game. You have to be able to take the knocks like they did with the officiating decisions.

    But when it came to ill discipline, even replacements Dan Robson and Ellis Genge gave penalties away.

    England captain Owen Farrell said of the refereeing decisions on BBC One: "That is not for us to talk about. We got our way back into it in that second half and didn't quite finish it off.

    "There's plenty for us to do better.

    "There is no point in talking about it now. That is for everyone else to talk about. We will control what we can control.

    "I thought the intent was good today but we can't let teams off that many times like we did today.

    "It's the whole team's job to make sure we're all on the same page and we'll look at how to do that better."
