Wales vs England rugby LIVE: World Cup warm-up commentary stream, latest score, TV channel, lineups

Wales vs England LIVE
World Cup 2019 warm-up
Venue: Principality Stadium, Cardiff
Kick-off time: 14:15 BST, today

Wales and England go head to head once again at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Saturday afternoon.

It is the second time that these two old rivals have squared off in a World Cup warm-up match in the space of just six days following last weekend's clash at Twickenham.

An experimental England team were victorious on that occasion, triumphing 33-19 as Six Nations Grand Slam-winners Wales - who lost fly-half Gareth Anscombe to a knee injury - saw their impressive 14-match winning streak curtailed.

Eddie Jones' side were beaten 21-13 on their last visit to the Welsh capital amid a red-hot atmosphere in February and had hoped to hand a Test debut to surprise World Cup call-up Ruaridh McConnochie today, only for the Bath wing to be withdrawn due to a minor injury.
