  1. The World Cup rehearsal

    There's a Test match being played in Twickenham too? Ah, yes, the World Cup dress rehearsal, before England and Australia clash in the pool stages next year. Will today have any bearing on what happens in 2015?

    Maybe, maybe not, but having lost to New Zealand and South Africa this month, Stuart Lancaster's men need a victory to show the world they can be contenders for the big prize on home soil next year.

  2. Wales getting close

    Wales have beaten South Africa just once, losing 16 of the following encounters since that historic 1999 victory. But if the men in red are seeking some sort of solace, at least recent encounters have been close.

  3. Gatland's sleepless nights

    Wales coach Warren Gatland said this week he endures sleepless nights after narrow defeats by major southern hemisphere teams, which means - if my calculations are correct - the poor New Zealander hasn't had a good night's sleep for about eight years.

    Wales' record of one win in 27 Tests against Australia, New Zealand and South Africa - the solitary victory coming against Australia in 2008 - has led to some questioning of Gatland's leadership.

    But Gatland says it's nothing he can't handle: "You thrive on criticism - that's part of professional sport. And I'm like the players - if we lose a match I don't sleep for a couple of nights..."

  4. Hello! Welcome to live text commentary of a couple of autumn international matches, where both England and Wales take on southern hemisphere behemoths for the final time this year. One last chance to beat the best. One last chance for November glory. One last chance to loosen the pressure valve.

    I'm guessing you know, but Wales are hosting South Africa while England will take on Australia. Both matches kick off at 14:30 GMT, which makes for a fun afternoon.

    It's the sleepless nights which are the worst. The tossing and turning over missed tackles, fumbles and silly indiscretions. Near misses turn into mind-churning what ifs. Scrambled thoughts haunt into the early hours. Defeat after defeat after defeat. Bad luck or bad play? The ticking of the clock gets louder and louder. Night turns to day and still there is no solution. But how will you sleep tonight, Messrs Gatland and Lancaster?
