Welsh will make England Sweat
The history between these two rugby rivals suggests we’re in for a nail-biter in Cardiff. You’ve got to go back five matches to find a game decided by more than 11 points, and their last scrap at Twickenham was a proper squeaker — England battling back to clinch it 16-14.
Wales may have been on a horrendous 16-game losing run, but a few green shoots of recovery have been seen since Matt Sherratt took up the reins from Warren Gatland. They gave Ireland a real fright and pushed Scotland all the way, only coming up short by nine and six points respectively — not bad for a team supposedly on its knees.
And let’s not forget the Principality Stadium factor. That place will be absolutely bouncing, and you can bet it’ll light a fire under the Welsh boys as they look to turn their fortunes around.
If Wales are going to pull off the upset, it’ll come down to their pack. They need to get stuck in at the breakdown, make a mess of England’s ball, and give their backs a chance to play. Do that, and they might just keep Steve Borthwick’s lads honest.

Expect a Tense, Low-Scoring Battle
With so much at stake for both teams, we could be in for a tense, low-scoring affair in Cardiff. England will be wary of chasing the game too early and leaving themselves vulnerable to Welsh counter-attacks.
Wales have shown defensive resilience in recent matches, pushing both Ireland and Scotland close before ultimately falling short. Their pack, led by captain Jac Morgan, will look to disrupt England’s rhythm and slow the game down.
England’s attack has been inconsistent throughout the tournament, and the pressure of a must-win game could lead to a more conservative approach. With Wales likely to adopt similar tactics, expect a tight contest with points at a premium.

Freeman is Central to Borthwick’s Attacking Plan
Tommy Freeman is enjoying a rich vein of try-scoring form and could become the first English player to score tries in every round of the Six Nations this weekend.
He has crossed the whitewash in each of his last five appearances in the tournament, having begun his run of tries in last season’s 33-31 loss to France.
Freeman is fast becoming an undroppable member of Borthwick’s team, although the coach has moved him to outside centre for Saturday’s game.
All 19 of his Test appearances have come on the wing, but the 24-year-old regularly switched to outside centre for Northampton last season, starting there in Saints’ Champions Cup semi-final defeat by Leinster.
He was one of England’s standout performers against Italy last time out, making 15 carries for a total of 113 carrying metres.
