England kept their Six Nations title hopes alive with a 33-30 win over Wales at Twickenham despite a late red card to Manu Tuilagi.

Tuilagi was sent-off in the 74th minute for a shoulder charge to the head of Wales wing George North.

That left England playing with 13 men, as replacement prop Ellis Genge had earlier been sinbinned following persistent infringing by the English defence.

England's depleted defence cracked, conceding two late tries after earlier dominating the match.

England had led 20-9 at half-time.
