Haskell the hero as England beat Wales

Man of the match James Haskell scored two tries as England opened their Six Nations campaign with a 30-17 win over Wales at Twickenham here on Saturday. The match, which marked the centenary of the first Test ever played at Twickenham, turned with Wales lock Alun-Wyn Jones's moment of madness in tripping England hooker Dylan Hartley six minutes before half-time.

That sparked a 17-point spree for England as they took the score from 3-3 to 20-3 in their favour. Wales, trailing 20-10 with just nine minutes left, got back into the match with a try from centre James Hook that saw him ghost past England outside centre Mathew Tait, hand off a prop and leave Jonny Wilkinson flat-footed.
