Nicholas Kirwan:, external I would say Sexton's trophy cabinet speaks for itself!!

Owen Parcell:, external Sexton on form. For England, I would like to see Ford get a run with Kyle Eastmond at 12 for familiarity.

Here comes the first scrum, England fans. Licking your lips?

Historically England have been dominant against the Wallabies in this phase of the game - have Australia improved?

Looks like it - certainly this time - as the Wallabies lock out a rock solid platform.

A couple of lovely early passes from England inside centre Billy Twelvetrees.

There's no doubting the ability, just whether he can deliver at the highest level, and it's been a classy start for the Gloucester man.

"Ireland employed a very good kicking game against South Africa and Wales will have to look at that. South Africa are winning the contact at the momebnt and getting over the gain line, but it's about discipline. Dan Biggar has made a great start to this game."

Lwazi Mvovo makes yards down the left flank but Wales' defence holds firm. South Africa getting over the gain line, but brilliant defending by Alun Wyn Jones and Gethin Jenkins earns Wales a penalty and Biggar takes control with a pressure-relieving touch-finder. A breathless opening.

Jonny May escapes on a gallop down the left, Australia go offside in midfield and George Ford should level matters.

He does, game on at Twickenham.

The ball sticking to Welsh hands like glue, Alex Cuthbert this time the man supreme under the high ball. Roars echo around the Millennium Stadium - but Jamie Roberts coughs up the ball in contact and South Africa rumble forward, before opting to turn Liam Williams but the Scarlets man is alert and it will be a drop out from the 22.

"There will be a bit of a Michael Hooper v Chris Robshaw battle throughout today. And discipline will be absolutely crucial, which is something we've spoken about all autumn. Australia will mix things up, chase some England tails and England must be wise to it. Australia are dangerous when they're in this kind of mood, coming off the back of a couple of defeats."

South Africa are penalised for not releasing and up steps Leigh Halfpenny. The full-back takes off his cap, goes through his familiar routine - it's wide to the right of the uprights - and he bisects the posts.

Ben Morgan's pinged for not releasing at the breakdown, shot at goal for the Wallabies.

It's a simple kick for the Australia 10 and it bisects the sticks to get the scoreboard ticking over.

Brilliant by Biggar, swallowing the high ball and giving his team-mates the platform to attack. The men in red snipe down the right before Jamie Roberts, without concern for his wellbeing, runs into a South African wall. Wales retaining possession, South Africa's defence holding on.

Short, sharp shrill of John Lacey's whistle. Dan Biggar boots the ball and off we go.

Here we go... Bernard Foley hangs it high for Australia, Tom Wood claims for England and off go the hosts!

A rampant driving maul takes them 20m before Ben Youngs snipes, but Billy Twelvetrees slips and the hosts are turned over at the breakdown.

As the Welsh national anthem rings around the Millennium Stadium, we should tell you that you can watch live coverage of Wales versus South Africa by visiting the 'live coverage' tab on the top of this page, or you can tune into BBC One on your television (presuming you bought one yesterday). There's also live coverage of England versus South Africa on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra. Plenty of outlets. Plenty of action.

And speaking of our chief sports writer, Tom Fordyce is at the game today. Here's what he has to say: "I'm coat-less. I haven't gone coat-less in the north since late June.

"An autumn which started badly for England, got worse and then plateaued must finish with a flourish against the Wallabies this afternoon or it will be a long, bleak midwinter for Stuart Lancaster and his men. A beautiful sunny day at Twickenham, and a similarly uplifting performance required."

By the way, England have tried 43 different combinations at centre, external since the 2003 World Cup. Let Tom Fordyce explain the midfield minefield.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter who wins or who loses today. It doesn't matter at all. Quiet around the Millennium Stadium as a minute's silence is held in memory of Phillip Hughes who died this week playing cricket.

"To be fair to Stuart Lancaster, he wants to play a centre partnership of Manu Tuilagi and Luther Burrell, and neither are available. England are hamstrung by injury but they have to get on with it. If today they don't win, he'll be under so much pressure to make changes that even though he's such a level-headed man he might not be able to resist the temptation."

Paul Grayson
Former England fly-half on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra

"I think England did know who their best fly-half was at the start of the autumn, but Own Farrell has played virtually no rugby this year. For me, that was the time to put George Ford in and then they would have found out in the first two games what they didn't get the chance to find out in the summer because of his shoulder operation.

"The door's open for George Ford today. It's going to revolve around him. He's been waiting for the opportunity, but it's one England should have given him three games ago."

John McEnerney:, external Sexton by a country mile - he showed his game management is superb from the hand or the boot. Benefitted from the two years in Top 14.

Kev:, external Not even a debate to have. Sexton miles ahead of any of the other 10s at the moment. George Ford has best potential of the rest.

Edu:, external Sexton clearly the best home nations fly-half but Biggar will be challenging him for that spot soon, he's in the form of his life.
