England line up against Wales at Twickenham this Saturday knowing that a win will be the only acceptable result. Head Coach, Martin Johnson has named what he has said is his strongest available side since his arrival at the England helm and is clearly confident about the team’s prospects.

Home advantage is usually a decisive factor in this fixture and although Wales won at Twickenham in their Grand Slam year of 2007, they had not won there before that since 1988, a statistic that suggests that England should once again ‘take the spoils’. Certainly the Bookmakers seem to think an England victory is on the cards where most quote them at around 4/7 to win, although odds of 8/13 can be obtained, Wales are quoted at 5/4 with a very unlikely draw available at 18/1. These odds are courtesy of Bet365.
There are many who believe that this match might well be decided in the front row, where a formidable Welsh trio line up against a relatively inexperienced English unit. That said, England have tremendous strength and fluidity in and around the scrum area and should be able to negate any more obvious Welsh advantages.

Johnson surprised many by recalling Matthew Tait into the outside centre position alongside the also recalled, Ricky Flutey. Tait will be given extra license in this match to exploit the Welsh defences and it would be no surprise to see this exciting runner get over to score an early try.
Wales are delighted to have British Lions Full Back, Lee Byrne back in their team. He is one of the very best in the world in this position but his inclusion means that coach, Warren Gatland will have to play James Hook in the centre.
We take England to win this game , but we think it will be a very close affair with few tries but plenty of penalties. England however should be good enough to win by a margin of between 1-5 points, which can be backed with bet365 at the very attractive odds of 9/2.
