There is simply nothing like Wales versus England, whether in Cardiff or up at Twickenham.
It has always been THE game for a Welsh nation and will be again when Dan Biggar and his team head up to London next week looking to build upon their win over Scotland, gain another victory and have another real stab at the title with two home matches to come after that.
Every time you play international rugby it's special, but there is just more to this one.
Always has been, always will be.
Back in the day, when we used to rock up at Twickenham, I'd look out of the window of the team coach and see people holding up banners saying things like 'Pricey brings them down to earth', or 'Pricey is going Cotton picking'.
That last one, of course, was a reference to the great Fran Cotton, my direct rival in the scrum whenever we played England and team-mate with the Lions.
JPR Williams used to get so motivated playing England he could probably have played them on his own! He was certainly never on the losing side.
A few decades on, this will still be the game of the year that matters most to Biggar and his colleagues.
They know the joy beating England will bring to a Welsh nation. And while Eddie Jones' side are clearly favourites, as you'd expect, history tells us to never rule out anything when it comes to Wales v England.
At least we head to Twickenham on the back of a badly needed confidence booster against Scotland after the disaster in Ireland and it was the kind of game that amply demonstrates how anything can happen in the Six Nations.
Having overcome England, Scotland had convinced themselves they could end their 20-year-old Cardiff hoodoo and had the beating of Wales, but as the game wore you could see that confidence and self-belief start to dissipate.
Wales forced the Scots into errors and it's that approach that holds the key to our prospects at Twickenham.
There is plenty of talk and hype about England, but like us they are nowhere near the finished article. They can be rattled and have a tendency to give away silly penalties when put off their stride.
Despite the Wales injury list, we still have players with a lot of experience and who have tasted success over England down the years.
This is where the likes of Dan Biggar, Jonathan Davies and Liam Williams need to lead, proven Test performers home and away.
Then we have the younger ones who evidently hold no fear. Louis Rees-Zammit has proven what he can do against England's finest in the Gallagher Premiership and the Twickenham stage could be set for someone of his electric pace and raw talent.
Taine Basham is the kind of player who will never take a backward step, he will be right in the faces of the England pack and again that's exactly the kind of approach and attitude we need.
He wins turnovers, he carries and he's already proving what an outstanding prospect he can become in the international game.
In rugby everything starts with the tight five - and you'd hardly expect a grizzled old prop such as myself to disagree with that, would you?
However, if we can get parity at least in the set-piece, the back-row battle will be fascinating.
England put Mao Itoje there last time out, but he's a world class second row and it remains to be seen if he can be as effective as a flanker against a Welsh team who will be quick to the breakdown. The return of Courtney Lawes could see him at six and Itoje back at lock, but we'll see when Eddie Jones names his team this week.
Wales have their own back-row selection debate - and much of that might centre around Taulupe Faletau.

The one thing I hope PIvac doesn't do is fast track Taulupe Faletau straight back into the starting XV, on the basis that he has one or two games behind him with Bath.
Yes Faletau is a big game player, yes he knows what it takes to win at Twickenham, yes he has proven ability that we know about.
But as things stand he's had just two games back since being injured on the Lions tour, albeit he went well against Wasps and then Leicester. That's still not enough to merit a Wales recall in my book, not for a game of this magnitude anyway.
Under those circumstances it's asking too much to expect Faletau to come straight back to play against England and I'd prefer to see him perform again for Bath up at Newcastle that day instead, let him get more miles in the legs and perhaps come into contention for France further down the line.
Personally I'd probably like to see a trio of Basham, Ross Moriarty and Aaron Wainwright against England. Part of that reasoning is because I prefer Basham on the openside, rather than playing six which is where Pivac picked him against the Scots.
He slipped off a couple of tackles in that game, looked unusually lost at times, which can happen when you have to overthink things in a new position, rather than just do what comes naturally.
But if Jac Morgan does continue at seven, and he made a pretty decent fist of his debut, Wales at least will have a pair of flankers who can get around the pitch quickly and who'd dovetail well with Moriarty's power at number eight.
What of England, then?
Okay, they had a good win last time out, but it was only Italy and it seemed to me Jones experimented with a number of new players.
Will he revert to the tried and trusted against us, or does he stick with the younger ones?
Whatever, they can be got at. Scotland proved that, testing the English discipline, forcing them into giving away penalties or silly little errors, putting pressure on at the breakdown.
Even Itoje, great player though he is, can look vulnerable and gives away kicks which Dan Biggar can knock through the posts.
That's the way Wales need to approach it, get in their faces, rattle them, get scoreboard pressure and hopefully force England to chase the game.
Marcus Smith looks a wonderful prospect, a real rugby superstar in the making, but Wales versus England is a different sort of game and we need to look to exploit the inexperience that he has.
How does Smith handle it if Basham is right up against him, cutting down his options?
The truth is that because of home advantage, I probably see England winning. But provided we show resolve, ask questions of them and put in a good performance, anything can happen.
Scotland proved that against them. And, as we know, Wales v England is a unique fixture where sometimes logic and rugby reason just go out of the window.
