Wales vs England is an eternally engrossing contest. Yes, the home side are enduring their worst run in history, with 16 losses on the trot, but, under interim head coach Matt Sherratt's stewardship, there are green shoots for the home faithful to cling onto. They will not go down without an almighty fight.
England, meanwhile, are on the up. A narrow one-point victory over form side France in round two is ageing better with every passing weekend. A bonus-point victory today would nudge them ahead of Ireland—regardless of the result in the early kick-off—and into pole position for the championship.
