England are well on track to winning their first Six Nations grand slam since 2003 after beating Wales 25-21 at Twickenham.
England dominated the first half, scoring a try through Anthony Watson and nine points from the boot of Owen Farrell. Their dominance continued early in the second period, with Farrell adding another penalty, but then Wales came storming back into the game.
Dan Biggar charged down a George Ford kick for a try before George North and Toby Faletau scored a try each, setting up a tense final few minutes for both sides.
Have a look through the gallery below to find out how the players fared...
Six Nations: England v Wales player ratingsShow all 30 1 /30Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings <b> England: <b/> Mike Brown: 7 out of 10 As always Brown carried with vigour and was safe under the high ball. He played a big role in Watson's try, drawing Williams well before releasing the winger.

Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings Anthony Watson: 7 out of 10 Watson was outstanding in the air throughout and did well to get over the line for his try. His footwork and speed make him such a dangerous winger to come up against.

Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings Jonathan Joseph: 6 out of 10 Like Watson, Joseph showed glimpses of why he's in this team but largely failed to impose his foot print on proceedings.

Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings Owen Farell: 8 out of 10 Farrell had a great game for England. The centre was solid in defence and made some lovely passes as the game went on. However it was kicking that really shone, he didn't miss a single kick and if had Wales may well have ran out as winners.

Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings Jack Nowell: 6 out of 10 The winger has great footwork and a lovely turn of pace, illustrated on a number of occasions. However, like his back three partner Watson, he failed to really get himself involved in the game.

Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings George Ford: 5 out of 10 Ford made some nice passes and moved the ball well, but was responsible for Dan Biggar's try. The flyhalf should have known that Biggar would come sprinting out of the blocks at him and used Farrell as a second kicker. Ford is still an excellent reader of the game, but when Tuilagi is fully fit he could find himself on the bench with Owen Farrell taking over the reigns at 10.

Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings Ben Youngs: 7 out of 10 He's always such a danger around the breakdown and was hassling players all day today. As well as that he showed his defensive skill when he won England the ball back deep in their own 22 at the end of the first half.

Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings Joe Marler: 7 out of 10 Joe Marler put in a very good shift for England this afternoon. The prop was more than reliable at scrum time and was everywhere in the loose.

Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings Dylan Hartley: 7 out of 10 Hartley had another great day as England's captain. The hooker had an exemplary record at the lineout and it looks like his team-mates really respect him as a captain.

Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings Dan Cole: 7 out of 10 All 7's in the front row. Cole largely had the upper hand over Samson Lee at scrum time and was awarded two penalties early on. Once again he was the last remaining prop, that started, on the field - showing his incredible work rate. However he was sin-binned late on in the game - which could have cost England - but the binning was a result of repeated team infringements rather than serious foulplay from Cole. Will be gutted that he didn't manage to ground the ball for a try in the 15th minute.

Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings Maro Itoje: 9 out of 10 Incredible. Just incredible from Itoje. The youngster started the game of by stealing two Welsh lineouts, before playing a huge role in Watson's try and ending his half with an amazing turnover in his own 22 when Wales were building some momentum. Joe Launchbury will be back fully fit for next week, but based on this performance the no.4 shirt is Itoje's to lose.

Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings George Kruis: 8 out of 10 Like Itoje, Kruis was everywhere today. He was a menace at the breakdown as well as the lineout and could find himself in the second row alongside Itoje for years to come.
Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings Chris Robshaw: 6 out of 10 Robshaw did nothing spectacular this afternoon, but that probably means he got through a lot of unseen work that goes a long way in securing any victory. It's great to see the flanker back playing at six.

Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings James Haskell: 7 out of 10 Once again Haskell put everything on the line, helping to keep Wales' back row quiet for most of the game.

Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings Billy Vunipola: 7 out of 10 Not as dominant as he has been so far in this tournament, but did well to create space for his team-mates. He's always there when needed to get England on the front foot.

Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings <b> Wales: <b/> Liam Williams: 6 out of 10 Williams was typically brave under the high ball and in the tackle, the fullback also played a key part in George North's try - running a beautful line before keeping the ball alive with an exquisite offload.

Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings Alex Cuthbert: 5 out of 10 Cuthbert couldn't get involved in the game and was found wanting defensively on a number of occasions. A day to forget for the big winger.

Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings Jonathan Davies: 6 out of 10 Davies threw a lovely pass to North for his late try, but other than that he failed to get the upper hand against England's centres.

Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings Jamie Roberts: 5 out of 10 As per usual, he left all he had out on the field, but this performance was nothing like those that we know he is capable of.
Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings George North: 6 out of 10 North came alive in the final 20 minutes of the game, but for the first hour couldn't get himself involved.

Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings Dan Biggar: 6 out of 10 Got Wales the try that kickstarted their attempted comback, but once Preistland came on their backs looked a lot more dangerous.

Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings Gareth Davies: 6 out of 10 Davies is such a talented scrum half and prevented England from a certain try early on. However sometimes the scrum half elects to go by himsel to often and gets caught with no support.
Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings Rob Evans: 5 out of 10 Was beaten at the scrum for the most part but prevented Cole diving over for a certain try. Has been impressive throughout the tournament, but will feel he could have done better here.

Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings Scott Baldwin: 5 out of 10 The Welsh lineout faltered at times and Itoje took full advantage. Baldwin was also ineffective in the loose and will be dissapointed with his game.

Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings Samson Lee: 5 out of 10 While Lee did win some penalties for his side, more often that not it was himself causing Wales' problems at the scrum. It was a fascinating contest at scrum time, but he just about lost it.
Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings Alun Wyn Jones: 5 out of 10 Jones is known as one of the best locks in European and world rugby, but was completely outclassed by the young Itoje on this occasion.
2016 Getty Images
Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings Bradley Davies: 6 out of 10 The lock was one of Wales' better players on the day and made a menace of himself in the loose.
2016 Getty Images
Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings Dan Lydiate: 5 out of 10 Lydiate normally makes such a huge difference in defence, but failed to stop England's forwards from asserting themselves throughout this contest.
Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings Sam Warburton: 5 out of 10 It was good to see Warburton give a thumbs up while he was on the stretcher, but quite frankly the flanker was rather anonymous in the time he did spend on the field.
2016 Getty Images
Six Nations: England v Wales player ratings Toby Faletau: 5 out of 10 Faletau got the late try that had all English fans worried, but for the most part the no.8 was kept quiet by England's back row. Will look to get back to his best next week.
