Cipriani converted and struck a penalty each side of half-time to make it 16-10 before he was joined on the field by Wilkinson.

Playing at inside center, Wilkinson helped put replacement winger Tait away to touch down on the right.

Cipriani retained the kicking duties from Wilkinson, who became international rugby's leading scorer last week, and slotted the conversion to continue a faultless game with the boot before supplying the pass that allowed Noon to barge through two tacklers and crash over.

Cipriani converted and completed the victory with a fourth penalty.
