Lawrence Dallaglio came off the bench to score the fourth of Englands six tries as Welsh dreams of back-to-back Grand Slams went up in smoke at Twickenham.

England had opened a 15-3 lead courtesy of tries from Mark Cueto and Lewis Moody before Martyn Williams hauled Wales to within five points by the interval.

But Mike Tindalls score with 19 minutes remaining was the killer blow and England then cut loose as Dallaglio, Matt Dawson and Tom Voyce racked up the points.

Robinson believes the performance was a step up from the autumn, when England beat Australia and came narrowly close to picking off New Zealand. #

He said: The autumn set a benchmark for our performances and that was a level up.

We tried to get an attacking rhythm and it was good to see interchange between forwards and backs.

It was a great try from Mark Cueto and then a completely different try when Lewis Moody was driven over.

We have great leadership. Martin Corry led the team tremendously well, Charlie Hodgson leading the attack and Lewis Moody leading the defence have been superb. This is a whole team effort.

This is about growing a team. We have very solid foundations and you are seeing the start of it.

Wales asked a lot of questions of us. Dwayne Peel was given one gap and took it and they scored a very, very good try. They didnt make many errors.

There were two sides out there who wanted to go and attack each other.

Wales head coach Mike Ruddock agreed with Robinson that England are on their way back to their best.

England were excellent and really played some good rugby, especially in that last 20 minutes, said Ruddock.

We knew England would be very strong and powerful. They have some very good runners behind the scrum and they put pressure on you.

I thought our scrummage was excellent and we got some decent lineout ball but they defended our attacks very well.

England played some really good rugby, they are a very, very good side and coming back to their best.

Wales, already beset by a host if injury problems, face losing back-up scrum-half Gareth Cooper for the remainder of the championship after he suffered a dislocated shoulder.
