The Autumn Nations Cup continues apace and matches between Wales and England are always ones to look forward to.
The game on Saturday (kick off 4pm) will be another fantastic occasion between these two sporting foes. England have been dominant in their opening two games of this newly-formed tournament.
They swept Georgia aside convincingly in their opening game, before putting Ireland to the sword which included a Jonny May wonder try.
Wales may not be the force of old but they still have the talent to produce some stellar rugby. They cruised to an 18-0 win over Georgia last week but were trounced 32-9 by Ireland the week before.
Never write off the Welsh though as this could be a real game to savour!
Wales vs England Predictions
When you think of Wales vs England, you always think of some legendary games over the years. Both nations have possessed some of the greatest rugby players of all time and some of the current guard could also enter that list.
Wales are probably going through a period of transition. The older guard are past their best and the newer players have to take their time to bed in.
England, meanwhile, are probably still smarting after their heartbreaking Rugby World Cup final defeat to South Africa having looked the best team in the competition.
They have been absolutely superb in their first two games and the likes of May, Owen Farrell, Maro Itoje and Billy Vunipola could get into any rugby side in the world.
Here at NetBet sports betting, we expect England to be dominant again against Wales and cruise to a group win, with tougher tests on the horizon.
