England Thrash Wales 68-14 in Record Six Nations Finale

Maro Itoje emerges as a leading contender for British and Irish Lions captaincy after England's dominant performance under Steve Borthwick.

England secured a record-breaking 68-14 victory over Wales in Cardiff, scoring 10 tries in their final Six Nations match of the season.
Despite the emphatic win, England finished as runners-up in the tournament, with France claiming the title after defeating Scotland 35-16.
Maro Itoje, England's captain, opened the scoring and received praise from coach Steve Borthwick, who endorsed him as a strong candidate for the British and Irish Lions captaincy.
Several England players, including flanker Ben Curry and debutant Henry Pollock, impressed with standout performances, boosting their chances of selection for the Lions tour to Australia this summer.
Steve Borthwick highlighted the growth and resilience of England's young team, which rebounded from a challenging 2024 season to win four of their five Six Nations matches.
