England vs Wales: preview
England face Wales today for the second successive weekend after falling to a 20-9 defeat last Saturday at the Principality Stadium. Warren Gatland’s side overwhelmed their opponents in Cardiff thanks to tries from Gareth Davies and George North, while Leigh Halfpenny kicked 10 points on his 100th appearance for Wales.
Wales will now travel to Twickenham full of confidence and hoping to gain a first victory at the stadium since 2015 when they knocked England out of the World Cup.
The victory came at just the right time for Wales who have endured a turbulent last 12 months in which they lost nine out of 12 games and lost the experienced Justin Tipuric, Alun Wyn Jones, Rhys Webb and Ken Owens. However, with Gatland back at the helm, there is renewed hope ahead of the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France.
For England, the second of four summer internationals provides them with a chance to gain revenge over Wales and rediscover their cutting edge after a wasteful display in Cardiff.
Coach Steve Borthwick has already named his 33-man squad for the World Cup, which gets underway on 8th September, and will be looking for his players to convert pressure into tries and cut out the defensive lapses.
Line ups:
England XV: Steward; Arundell, Marchant, Lawrence, Daly; Farrell (c), Van Poortvliet; Marler, George, Stuart, Itoje, Martin, Lawes, Earl, B Vunipola.
Replacements: Dan, Genge, Cole, Hill, Willis, Youngs, Ford, Malins.
Wales XV: L Williams; Adams, Roberts, Tompkins, Rogers; O Williams, T Williams; G Thomas, Lake (c), Francis, Beard, R Davies, Lydiate, Reffell, Plumtree.
Replacements: Parry, Mathias, Lewis, Tshiunza, Basham, Hardy, Biggar, K Williams.
