England 14-0 Wales
Wales need to find a bit of composure here if they're to consolidate that number one spot and make it 16 wins on the bounce.
They could do without handing England possession back so quickly.

There’s no spring in the Welsh step, they have had 15 minutes of tackle, tackle, tackle in this heat. They look a bit leggy.

England number eight Billy Vunipola has had his fair share of recent injuries but is on fire so far today with an early try and playing a pivotal role in the score for Joe Cokanasiga.
He is not facing his cousin Taulupe Faletau this afternoon with the Wales back-rower ruled out of the World Cup with a collarbone injury.

It's all very direct and about pressure by England and Wales look rather fragmented in defence and Wales haven't had any go-forward at all.

Good support from Heinz when Ford had a quick dart, he’d have scored at Kingsholm but in international rugby there’s two defenders from Wales to stop him. England are looking very slick.

Billy Vunipola grabs it out the back of a five-metre scrum and is felled agonisingly short, England opt to go left instead and Willi Heinz almost wriggles his way over on his debut.
But now England do make it. Joe Cokanasiga is the man to power through the Welsh line!
Great pressure from England and superb support - a little pick-up to burrow over the whitewash from the winger.
George Ford adds the extras.

Billy Vunipola thinks he's scored, but good luck spotting that one through a mass of bodies...
Did Hadleigh Parkes get a hand beneath it? The TMO says there is no conclusive evidence of the ball being grounded and that will be no try.

England camp out on the Wales try line. Willi Heinz scans around for a way through.
He feeds Billy Vunipola at close range but the number eight appears to be held up short.
We're going to the video...

This looks like an England side fighting for a place in a World Cup squad. Eddie Jones is set to announce his on Monday and every player in white looks desperate to impress.

Wales look like they are playing for this number one title, rather than sticking to the game plan and being precise. It’s a bit frenetic. It’s a massive deal to be the number one team in the world.

Wales at sixes and sevens at the minute as an attempted clearance kick from Gareth Davies is charged down. That number one spot weighing heavy already?

Wales pride themselves on their defence but coach Shaun Edwards will be furious with the ease England built the phases leading up to that try for Billy Vunipola.
Not the ideal start for Wales.

He managed to wrestle the ball, and his sheer strength allowed him to rip the ball as the maul collapsed.

England are over!
Great support play from the hosts as they throw body after body into the maul before Billy Vunipola collects and manages to squeeze between the posts with ball in hand.
There's a sea of red and white shirts on the floor, but the England number eight gets that down.
Perfect start for Eddie Jones' side.
