Wales concluded their summer Test schedule by recording a comfortable victory over England's opening World Cup opponents at the Millennium Stadium.
Much of Wales' early play was disjointed and littered with errors, but they ruthlessly took their scoring chances and fly-half James Hook made another composed goal-kicking contribution.
Number eight Andy Powell pressed a late claim for inclusion in coach Warren Gatland's 30-man World Cup squad by scoring Wales' opening try just before half-time.
Lock Alun-Wyn Jones then followed suit 90 seconds later, giving Wales a healthy advantage that they never looked like losing, before wing George North touched down seven minutes from time.
Hook slotted two conversions and three penalties, while his opposite number Felipe Contepomi replied with a penalty double and conversion of substitute prop Martin Scelzo's late try.
Both sides will need to find at least another gear though before their World Cup openers against South Africa and England respectively.
