Six Nations: Wales vs England match preview
England and Wales are the only two teams to have won their opening two games and victory for Eddie Jones's team, who next face Italy and Scotland at Twickenham, would make them odds-on for a Grand Slam.
Should Wales win, however, particularly after their failure to take any bonus points from their first two games and, with their final match against defending champions Ireland to come, the excitement will be high right through to March 16.
England head into the contest as favourites on the back of their superb wins over the Irish and the French.
France and Scotland, who meet in Paris, are both desperate for victories but for differing reasons.

Halfbacks Morgan Parra and Camille Lopez were vocal in their criticism of the preparation by coach Jacques Brunel and have both been dropped from the match squad.
Brunel says the decision was for "sporting" reasons rather than as a punishment as he seeks to turn around a dire run that has seen them lose 15 of their last 19 games.
Scotland's hopes of a rare win in Paris have been hit by a spate of injuries, with key backs Alister Hogg, Huw Jones and Finn Russell all ruled out to severely undermine coach Gregor Townsend's commitment to high-speed attack.
The Scots have not won in Paris for 20 years and only twice in the last 50.
Statistics also come to the fore in Rome on Sunday where, if Ireland triumph as expected, it would be a 20th successive Six Nations defeat for Italy.
The Irish have won 24 of the teams' last 25 meetings and have averaged more than 57 points in their last four wins.
