Triple Crown

OUTPLAYED for long periods, Wales needed just one moment of individual class to keep its Six Nations grand slam aspirations on track at Twickenham on Saturday. With five minutes left and the scores level, replacement center Scott Williams ripped the ball from the hands of England lock Courtney Lawes, collected his own chip kick and raced over for the only try. Leigh Halfpenny converted to make it 19-12 and round off a Triple Crown triumph with a third win from three matches. Wales has home games against Italy and France left and is a stronger favorite to win the championship, although France can strengthen its cause against Scotland yesterday. Earlier, Ireland beat Italy 42-10.
