England v Wales Betting Preview

England v Wales Betting Preview

England have won their last two Six Nations meetings with Wales and will be hopeful of producing a performance in front of their home faithful at Twickenham on Saturday 25th February. However, Wales are the bookies' favourites heading into the match as they look the far more settled of the two teams. England scraped through in beating Scotland and Italy in the first two matches, while Wales have looked hugely confident in recording two wins from two.

Previous Meetings

Last Year: England 12 - 19 Wales, Saturday 25th March 2012 at Twickenham

Wales won an enthralling contest with England at Twickenham and in the process sealed their 20th Triple Crown victory. England had gone into half-time 9-6 ahead and it wasn't until the 75th minute that Wales actually went ahead for the first time in the match as Scott Williams produced a brilliant try and appeared to have handed Wales victory. However, England launched one last gasp attack and David Strettle crossed the tryline, believing he had grounded the ball, but television replays proved inconclusive and the tv umpire decided 'no try' to hand Wales an important victory.
