Guinness Six Nations 2021

 Wales v England

 Principality Stadium, Cardiff - Saturday, 27 February  16:45 GMT

There are two changes in the pack as Mark Wilson comes in at blind-side flanker for the injured Courtney Lawes who is out for the rest of the Six Nations and Jamie George returns to start at hooker. 

Elliot Daly is in line to win his 50th cap for England, since his debut in 2016

Last two previous results are

2020: Wales 13-24 England - Parc y Scarlets (Autumn Nations Cup)
2020: England 33-30 Wales - Twickenham Stadium (Six Nations) 

 

However, the way England have played in the first two matches of the Six Nations, I don't hold much hope of winning this match but we shall see!

 

England head coach Eddie Jones: “Wales is a really special fixture and rivalry.  There is a long history between the two nations and the game means a lot to both countries.   “We know we’ll be up against a strong Welsh challenge on Saturday, but we’ve worked really hard in training this week and have got a very good team to face it.  “We want to show people what we are capable of, keep building our performances and the best is yet to come from this England team.”

This was a terrible performance by England.

Eddie Jones doesn't seem to have selected the best team available, so shouldn't we replace him first?
