    England 0-0 Wales

    Ollie Chessum should be okay. It is high but very little force in that one, with Kieron Assiratti dropping in the tackle as well.

    You can't over emphasise how important it is that Wales' kicks go over the touchline.

    Tomos Williams has had two kicks now that have stayed in field and been straight down Freddie Steward's throat. Get it off the field Tom.

    England manage to stop the Wales maul and win a scrum. But Henry Slade drops the ball on the crash.

    So far it is all England.

  6. 'Good intensity from England'published at 16:54 Greenwich Mean Time 10 February

    Contrasting tactics, England started with a kick-off straight down the middle which they don't normally do.

    They are not allowing Wales to box-kick the ball clear, there is a really good intensity from England.

    Again England eye the corner as George Ford is next to nudge one through.

    A clear tactic from Steve Borthwick's side is to attack this Welsh line-out.

    Twickenham is responding to Jamie George's call to arms.

    England are throwing the ball around and George Ford's clever kick wide handed them a great opportunity early on.

    A chorus of 'Swing Low' breaks out inside the third minute. England expects.

    That man Tommy Reffell gets over the ball to win the penalty!

    I am surprised England did not go for the drive from the lineout.

    I am not sure where Wales are right now because there has been such a huge turnover of players.

    To go down 27 points to Scotland [last week] and then bounce back to a 27-26 loss shows great resilience from the younger group of players - they are finding their identity.

    There is no tougher place than Twickenham.

    England fans are in optimistic mood as the Jamie George era begins at Twickenham.

    Father and son James and Will from Solihull can't see a Wales upset.

    Will said: "I think the rain may come in and but I can't see the Wales pack putting up with England's. We have been promised attacking rugby with England so let's see how that goes. Our defensive system still needs a bit of work from last week but it will take time.

    "Wales very rarely win here at Twickenham but I think it will be a good spectacle. England have been very vocal about building the atmosphere and we're always ready to cheer."

    James added: "We always go home with a lost voice. I'm not sure about the defence, and learning a new system while you're playing Wales is never a good idea. I think we will win but it will be tight."

    Wales have only won twice at Twickenham in the Six Nations.

    One of those came in February 2012, when a 23-year-old Warburton had redemption in his mind just months after being red-carded in a narrow World Cup semi-final defeat by France.

    "Twickenham was an amazing stadium as the Welsh would travel down and it was a phenomenal atmosphere," Sam Warbuton told Rugby Union Daily. "Outside the Principality, it was my favourite place to play.

    "Walking through the crowd is quite daunting if you're young. I just got sent off four months before at the World Cup and got recognised a lot more for that.

    "As I got to the door, there was a little fire escape and some England fan shouted: 'Warburton it was a red card.' That was massive motivation for me. That one little moment."

    Warburton produced a man-of-the-match performance in a 19-12 victory including an iconic try-saving tackle on Manu Tuilagi.
