Owen Williams of Wales hoists the ball into the London sky and we're up and running.

Not too much more that these can do now.

All Steve Borthwick and Warren Gatland can do now is trust their players to deliver on the field.

• In the past 10 meetings between the sides, England have won six times and Wales four.
• Wales have not won back-to-back games against England since winning three in a row between August 2011 and March 2013.
• In their most recent meeting at Twickenham, England beat Wales 23-19 in the 2022 Six Nations.

Both back-row Taulupe Faletau and fly-half Gareth Anscombe will not be involved in any Wales' World Cup warm-ups but they are still in contention for selection for the tournament.

Faletau has a calf injury, while Anscombe has a thumb problem.

They will need to hope enough credit is in the bank if they are to head to France.

As Sigma entertain the crowd during the warm-up, there are two guys doing backflips on pogo stilts around the pitch.

Steve Borthwick named his England World Cup squad on Monday but you can guarantee the Wales players will be doing backflips too to try to impress Warren Gatland today.

The Wales head coach will name his squad in the days after their final warm-up game with South Africa next weekend.

One of the last chances to impress the Kiwi today.

Hooker Jamie George has made it clear to England fans what he wants to provide them today.

George said it was "about time" the players got "Twickenham bouncing".

"I feel like we are going to get people out of their seats at Twickenham, and it's about time," George said.

"We as players are fully aware that it hasn't been good enough over the last two years, and we have to make sure this Twickenham stadium is bouncing."

Look who's back in an England shirt.

As the only specialist number eight in England's World Cup squad, Billy Vunipola is now essential to England's World Cup dreams, with today being his first game in white since November 2022.

Having not played since April because of a knee injury - and never under Steve Borthwick for England - is today going to be the first step in repeating his 2019 form, when he was undeniably world-class?

Borthwick said Vunipola is "as fit" as he has seen him in recent years, so that is a positive start.

Dewi Lake was keen to share news that he will be captaining Wales today with his family - but he could not reach them all at first.

"My mother [Louvain] and sister [Iola-Belle] were in Magaluf so I didn't get a reply from them for a bit because they were out clubbing," said Lake.

"My dad gave me a typical thumbs up emoji. They're made up. They've put a lot of effort in for me as well, driving at 6am to get you to under-18s or under-16s training.

"It's as much my achievement as it is theirs. They're the people who've put the time into me, along with coaches. From a young age, they taught me how to be who I am."

Lake added they will be in south-west London today.

I think I would have got the typical thumbs up emoji as well...

Less than a month to go now until the start of the Rugby World Cup.

Wales are alongside Australia, Fiji, Georgia and Portugal in the group phase, while England have Argentina, Japan, Samoa and Chile in their pool.

There's a chance these two could meet in the quarter-finals.

So a simple question for you. Who will progress further - England or Wales?

Get in touch using the methods above.

Things are a bit different for Wales. With Warren Gatland making 15 changes, it is still about new faces getting an opportunity.

He admitted last weekend that he didn't know his best team yet and places are very much still up for grabs.

So for Wales, it is all about who stands out to make the World Cup squad.

A reminder of what happened last weekend as Wales beat England 20-9 in Cardiff.

Gareth Davies and George North scored tries for Wales, with Leigh Halfpenny kicking 10 points on his 100th Wales appearance.

Marcus Smith kicked three penalties for England, with Steve Borthwick’s side failing to register a point in the second half.

It is the first team Steve Borthwick has selected since naming his 33-man World Cup squad on Monday.

Borthwick's reason for naming his squad three weeks before the World Cup deadline was in order to "build cohesion".

His team contains six Saracens players who won the Premiership title this year - which offers an indication to his potential World Cup spine.

So today for England it is all about players proving they should start in the opening game of the World Cup against Argentina on 9 September.

Hooker Dewi Lake will captain a completely new Wales starting XV to face England at Twickenham, with centre Joe Roberts winning his first cap.

Warren Gatland has made 15 changes to the team that defeated England 20-9 in Cardiff.

Lake will lead Wales for the first time after taking over the captaincy from Jac Morgan.

Taine Plumtree is handed his first start at number eight, while there's a late change on their bench - with Gareth Davies replacing Kieran Hardy.

Wales: L Williams; Adams, Roberts, Tompkins, Rogers; O Williams, T Williams; G Thomas, Lake (capt), Francis, Beard, R Davies, Lydiate, Reffell, Plumtree.

Replacements: Parry, Mathias, Lewis, Tshiunza, Basham, G Davies, Biggar, K Williams.

Head coach Steve Borthwick has named an experienced England team for the return fixture against Wales at Twickenham.

Owen Farrell captains from fly-half, with hooker Jamie George, lock Maro Itoje and number eight Billy Vunipola coming into the forward pack.

There is also a start for Henry Arundell on the right wing, with Elliot Daly on the left, among 11 changes.

Lock Jonny Hill is on the bench despite missing out on the World Cup squad.

England: Steward; Arundell, Marchant, Lawrence, Daly; Farrell (capt), Van Poortvliet; Marler, George, Stuart, Itoje, Martin, Lawes, Earl, B Vunipola.

Replacements: Dan, Genge, Cole, Hill, Willis, Youngs, Ford, Malins.

Welcome to another weekend of Rugby World Cup warm-up matches, as England face Wales at Twickenham.

There is no such thing as a friendly between these two teams, especially after Wales beat England last weekend.

Is revenge on the cards for Steve Borthwick's side? Or will Warren Gatland's Wales hype train continue to build momentum ahead of the World Cup?
