RWC Warm-up -- England vs. Wales

Here we go! Predictions anyone? It's tough to call given the nature of the game, but I think we'll see an England victory in a scrappy game. 20-10 is my rough prediction, but in truth, I have no idea. It depends on so many things..

Farrell and Hipkiss -- With they work well together? Will Farrell prove his critics wrong? Will Hipkiss keep his outstanding form from the GP?

Worsely at 7 -- Will he be able to perform at openside on an international stage?

Shaw -- Will our own personal man mountain show his true colours and lead the pack in driving back the welsh?

There are more questions, and those are only the ones that England face... The Welsh will have many similar ones!

So... what do you think will happen? And does it matter? Or are both coaches simply using it as a trial match?

Tough to call. Neither side has played for 2 months and it could be which team can find their rhythm on the day. England have picked possibly their strongest side, Wales have picked a mix of probables and possibles. For that reason and home advantage you'd have to favour England.

31 - 17 in a probably poor game.

bit of a non-event in the end, as England hammer a rubbish wales 15!!

cant see wales doing any better in the WC

The only highlights were in the players hair..
The teams from down under will be giggling.
