Wales vs England match preview
Warren Gatland has struggled to get a tune out of his players since his return to the Wales coaching job, but if he can't rile them up for an England game, then he might as well pack it in. This has been an excruciating week for Welsh rugby, but it could at least end on a high. Then again, rock bottom might bring with it a twisted sense of relief.
Wales have experimented with experience and with youth, and both have gone very badly. They're the only team without a single point to their name and their players almost went on strike this week, in protest at how the Welsh Rugby Union is running the game. However, it says a lot about the state of the England team that plenty of Wales fans still feel that they should get something out of today's match.
Gatland has made nine changes to the team that crumpled against Scotland a fortnight ago, but the return of flying winger Louis Rees-Zammit could be the single biggest factor that determines which way this will go. The potential of the partnership between debutant Mason Grady and Joe Hawkins has also given fans cause for optimism.
Steve Borthwick's only change to the England team that mauled its way to a much-needed victory over Italy is Anthony Watson's inclusion at the expense of the injured Ollie Hassell-Collins. It's the winger's first international call-up in two years.
They've stuck with the combination of Owen Farrell at fly-half, Jack van Poortvliet at scrum-half and Ollie Lawrence and Henry Slade outside him, while Courtney Lawes is fit enough to make the bench. With games against France and Ireland to come, today's game may well be England's last chance to get some points on the board.
