Eddie Jones talks about England's preparations before their Six Nations game against Wales

England and Wales collide at Twickenham on the second weekend of the Six Nations with both teams unbeaten and looking to challenge not only for the championship but also the Grand Slam.

The hosts return to Twickenham off the back of a resounding 46-15 victory over Italy in Rome, a bonus-point result that has put them top of the Six Nations table. But hot on their heels is Wales, who thrashed Scotland 34-7 in Cardiff and only trail England on points difference.

With Warren Gatland and Eddie Jones engaging in their usual verbal barbs this week – Gatland claiming that Wales have been and will be fitter than England before Jones questioned Rhys Patchell’s “bottle” and hit out at Alun Wyn Jones – the tension ahead of the game has built towards fever pitch, and the atmosphere inside the stadium is certain to rise as a result.

Wales haven’t beaten England since 2015, but that victory was the famous Rugby World Cup success over England that paved the way to their embarrassing elimination from their own tournament. However, they've suffered the loss of Leigh Halfpenny to a foot injury just an hour before kick-off, so Gareth Anscombe starts at full-back with Owen Watkin on the bench.

KICK-OFF: WALES GET THE GAME UNDERWAY!

1 mins: Anthony Watson takes the kick-off and immediately coughs it up in the tackle. Wales spread right, and the game is stopped when Hartley rushes out of the line and hits Lee head-to-head. He's going off for an HIA after just 42 seconds.

2 mins: We restart with a scrum, with Jamie George on in Hartley's place. Wales attack left and Priestlan loops around Parkes and chips in behind. Evans is after it, but Ford sweeps around the back and dots it down for a 22 drop-out.

3 mins: TRY FOR ENGLAND!

3 mins: Care kicks the ball away to Rhys Patchell, and the fly-half - who has has so much said about him in the build-up - drops the ball. Farrell thinks quickly and hacks it up-field, and Jonny May is roaring up on the outside! The England wing slides over and scores the first try, and while Farrell can't convert, England lead 5-0.

6 mins: England concede a penalty when Ford is offside trying to rush up on Patchell, and while it's a kickable effort, it's 46m out and a very hard kick. Patchell goes for it, but it's just left of the uprights.

8 mins: Patchell puts up a high up-and-under for himself to chase, but while he gets there, Watson flies through the air to collect. The ball is chipped into the Welsh corner, and it forces Evans to put it into touch five metres outside the Welsh 22.

9 mins: Shingler does brilliantly to steal the lineout, and Parkes kicks deep to find touch on the English 10m. Good defensive work from Wales there to alleviate the pressure.

10 mins: Ford chips from the lineout and Farrell races onto it to catch the ball on the bounce. He's tackled inside the Welsh half, and another kick to the corner gives may another one to chase. He just gets there but is heading for the sideline, and his flick back still rolls into touch to kill the move.

​Hartley is back on, and Jamie George trudges off.

[10 February 2018 17:00 · Jack de Menezes]

13 mins: Wales try to attack left with repeated drives, but eventually Farrell puts in a hit on Williams that dislodges the ball and England have the put-in inside their own half.
