England head the table going into the final round of competition as they demolished Wales 42-0.<\/p>\n
It took just six minutes before Jamie O\u2019Keeffe scooted into space and grounded the ball to the left of the posts, giving Oli Winterbottom an easy conversion.<\/p>\n
Soon after, Leon Stewart found space on a right to left move and found the gap to move England further ahead, but this time Winterbottom couldn\u2019t add the extras.<\/p>\n
Ben Bell-Thorn completed a cross-field move, diving into the corner, with Winterbottom adding a towering touchline conversion to push England further ahead.<\/p>\n
Will Martin was held up twice in the same set by a defiant Welsh defence, but it soon crumbled as Winterbottom grabbed a try of is own as he stepped and stretched out on the right edge, although he was unable to add the conversion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bell-Thorn added his second just before the break, taking Winterbottom\u2019s pass superbly on the wing, but again the try went unconverted as the half time whistle sounded.<\/p>\n
Bell-Thorn almost completed his hat-trick after the break, but the pass went sailing over his head as England dominated the early sets of the second half.<\/p>\n
Ben O\u2019Donnell cleaned up an untidy pass and bagged himself four points as he managed to cut through to the left of the posts but Winterbottom was unable to improve.<\/p>\n
As the game entered is final stages, Teddy Davidson stretched out to give England a further four points. Dan Perry took over kicking duties but was unable to find his target.<\/p>\n
An outrageous dummy from Charlie Yeomans to scythe through the middle with seven minutes remaining saw England romping away, with Perry adding the extras.<\/p>\n
England finished with a flurry, Stewart intercepting a wayward pass to burn forty metres down-field, a scramble by Isaac Coleman found O\u2019Donnell and fast hands from Yeomans put Perry away in the corner. Perry was unable to convert as the final whistle sounded.<\/p>\n
In the earlier game, Scotland dispatched Ireland 38-22, with the final round of fixtures taking place on Saturday 5th July at the University of Nottingham.<\/p>\n
