AFP: A much-changed England outscored Wales by five tries to one in a 27-13 victory at Twickenham on Sunday before both sides head out on tour to the southern hemisphere.

Luther Burrell, Anthony Watson, Ben Youngs, Jack Clifford and Marland Yarde crossed the whitewash for England, who would have won more comfortably but for a wayward kicking display from George Ford who missed six of seven shots at the sticks.

Rob Evans scored Wales’ try as the visitors stormed into a 10-0 lead early on.

England now head to Australia for a three-match tour while Wales will be in New Zealand.
