Jonny Wilkinson gives verdict on England vs Wales first-half with 'ruthless' assessment

England and Wales went to battle in the first-half at Twickenham on Saturday evening with four penalties from Marcus Smith giving the Red Rose a 12-0 lead at the break.

Wales showed flashes with Alex Cuthbert looking impressive on his 50th cap but England's extra class showed as they opened up a deserved lead.
