With France not playing this weekend, the winner of this match can go top of the Six Nations table. If it is Wales that win this home game against England, they will be two victories away from their second Grand Slam in three years. That's not going to be an easy task though, especially with their final game being away to France. Beating England is going to be a difficult task too and Wales may do well to keep hold of the second place they currently hold. If they do win this game, then the Triple Crown will be won. They began this campaign with a 21-16 win at home to Ireland, made easier by Ireland having a player sent off. That win was followed by a 25-24 win away in Scotland. They will be boosted by the return of George North who will be winning his 100th cap for Wales. Jonathan Davies also makes his return in a much-changed side after the injury crisis they had earlier this month.

England recovered from their opening loss to Scotland with a home win against Italy. After this match, they host France before travelling to Ireland. Not an easy fixture list though and they really need to win this game to keep the pressure on France. Hooker Jamie George makes his return for this game. There's plenty of experience in the line-up, not quite as much as that in the Wales team. At least, there won't be the massive cheers of the Welsh crowd and that will help England.  Their coach Eddie Jones says "the best is yet to come" for his team, that has to be the case if they want to retain their Six Nations title. If they do run into trouble there's plenty of forwards options on the bench for England with six named. They can get a narrow win in this game to keep their title hopes alive.
