England scored three tries on Saturday to open their Six Nations rugby campaign with a hard-fought 30-17 win over Wales.England again gave away a string of needless penalties, but the match hinged on a cynical trip by Wales lock Alun-Wyn Jones. The lock stuck out a leg in the 36th minute to trip the charging Dylan Hartley and was sent to the sin bin for 10 minutes, during which England touched down twice. Flanker James Haskell and scrumhalf Danny Care scored tries before Adam Jones and James Hook brought Wales back to within three points. England looked to be faltering, but Haskell rounded off a counterattack following an interception and Jonny Wilkinson struck another conversion and penalty to finish the match with 15 points.
