Owen Farrell runs from his own line and makes it to the 22 but his pass to Anthony Watson puts England under pressure, Chris Robshaw infringes and Pat Lambie will go for goal.

It could have been worse for England as from the advantage Bryan Habana got to within a couple of yards before his inside pass was knocked on, but what was Farrell thinking?

He did well initially, and even out-paced JP Pietersen, but then should have boomed a kick into touch. Strange decision making from the England 10, especially in these greasy conditions.

"Wales isolated the outside centre, held him and then it's an easy finish for North, two on one, a lovely try."

George Phillipson:, external Brad Barritt definitely England's best defensive centre, he needs to play alongside a Burrell/Tuilagi to see his best.

A loose pass from the free-running Fijians hands the ball back to Wales - and the home side take full advantage. The Welsh pack do the hard work before the ball is quickly shifted left, centre Scott Williams holding the line before sticking in George North for the simplest of tries.

Rhys Priestland swings in the conversion attempt from the touchline, the ball thinks about curling round, but doesn't, and drifts wide.

"That was the first driving line-out there and it was as if every England player read every single news article written in the last week."

Kyle Eastmond slides through the South Africa midfield after a driving maul from a line-out but cannot offload the greasy ball, which dribbles onto the deck. Shame.

Good disruption from England at the breakdown and they win a penalty to clear their lines. Great defence from the hosts.

Richie McCaw? Really? Excellent player - all-time great - but hard man? Bakkies will be offended.

Our vote is now closed. 23% of you say Richie McCaw is the hardest man in world rugby union, followed by Bakkies Botha and then Paul O'Connell. England's chief enforcer Courtney Lawes came fourth.

A rousing rendition of Land Of My Fathers (as always) sets the spine tingling nicely, before the Wales players (many sporting monthly moustaches) stare down the Fijian cibi.

Referee Pascal Gauzere toots his whistle, Fiji fly-half Josh Matavesi hoists a kick into the Cardiff air - and that means it is game on.

Throw in to England midway inside the visitors' half, It's raining in London - who will adapt better?

Swing Low echoes around the cavernous stands in south west London. Here we go as Owen Farrell hangs the kick-off high and deep.

Tears stream down the face of England number eight Billy Vunipola as the anthem rings round Twickenham.

The near 20-stone back rower looks in the mood, shall we say.

"It will be one of the proudest moments of my career for my 50th cap.

"Every time I take the field, I want to play well for the team."

Chief sports writer at Twickenham

"It's a dreadful old sporting cliche, but this really does feel like a must-win game for both sides. England need to win to ensure that they seem on an upward trajectory rather than stalling, while after their chastening defeat last week in Dublin the Springboks need to revive their flagging autumn tour."

"I guarantee you there will be a shriek at some point from me this afternoon about the officials as it's a certain Steve Walsh as referee.

"He has a bit of history with England it's fair to say.

"I don't know what it is, but he's certainly got a bee in his bonnet."
