London – Wales and England can show just how far they have come since last year's Rugby World Cup when they go head to head in the Six Nations on Saturday.

With injuries abating and confidence high after a win at Ireland and a fitfully impressive 27-13 victory against Scotland, Wales is in the unfamiliar position of favourites to win at Twickenham against a side that narrowly beat Scotland and Italy.

A second win at Twickenham since 1988 would keep Wales in contention for the grand slam and build on the promise of fourth place at the World Cup.

Wales prop Adam Jones says “this is a massive game and I'm sure the country is going to go a little bit mental.”
