The Six Nations schedulers couldn't have timed this England vs Wales clash any better, with each fanbase in similarly optimistic mood ahead of Saturday's encounter at Twickenham. That's been a rarity in recent times.
England won their opener for the first time in four years, coming from behind to beat 27-24. Although the winning margin of three points was their slimmest against Italy, and 17 of their points came from the boot of George Ford, it was a promising performance, with all-action wing Tommy Freeman and debutant flanker Ethan Roots catching the eye.
