Wales went top of rugby union's world rankings for the first time after beating England 13-6 in Cardiff.
Wales' rise to the summit, which ended New Zealand's unbroken 10-year occupation, comes just 34 days before the World Cup kicks off in Japan.
It was an impressive warm-up performance for the tournament as they reeled off an 11th successive home win, with George North's first-half try ultimately proving the difference as Wales took full advantage of Anthony Watson's yellow card to make the most of England's lapse in concentration to score.
The rest of Wales's points came from the combined boots of Dan Biggar and Leigh Halfpenny, while England could only must two penalties in response to suffer defeat six days after beating Wales. Re-live the action below.
Welcome to The Independent's live coverage of today's Rugby World Cup warm-up clash between Wales and England, brought to you from pitchside at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
Wales will be looking for revenge following last weekend's defeat at Twickenham, but they have been forced into three changes through injury as Gareth Anscombe, Adam Beard and Justin Tipuric are all absent through injury. Dan Biggar starts at fly-half in Anscombe's absence, while Jake Ball starts at lock and James Davies at flanker, meaning that the Davies brother both start a Test for the first time as Jonathan is named at outside centre.
England have also made three changes, with Tom Curry ruled out with the shoulder injury that he suffered last weekend. Courtney Lawes comes into the back-row as Lewis Ludlam moves to the openside, while Maro Itoje replaces Charlie Ewels in the second-row and Ruaridh McConnochie comes into the back line to make his debut.
However, England have a doubt over McConnochie once again this week due to muscle soreness, and a decision on his inclusion will be made this morning with Jonny May and Anthony Watson on stand-by.
We'll begin our full build-up coverage from 1pm ahead of kick-off at 2:15pm.
The headline news so far is that England have been forced to make a late change after Ruaridh McConnochie dropped out through injury.
The Bath back has suffered a "minor muscle strain" and will be replaced on the right wing by club-mate Anthony Watson, England announced on their official Twitter account.
It is the second time in the space of six days that injury has prevented the 27-year-old from making his England debut.
McConnochie was due to play in the opening fixture of England's build-up to the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan last weekend.
But he missed the 33-19 victory against Wales at Twickenham with a hip problem.
The winger is a sevens specialist who won a silver medal with Great Britain at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
Bath team-mate Watson made his comeback from a serious Achilles injury in last weekend's win.
A reminder of today's teams in Cardiff.
Wales: L. Williams, North, J. Davies, Parkes, Adams, Biggar, G. Davies, Smith, Owens, Francis, Ball, A. Jones, Wainwright, J. Davies, Moriarty.
Replacements: Dee, W. Jones, Lewis, Shingler, Navidi, A. Davies, J. Evans, Watkin.
England: Daly, Watson, Joseph, Francis, Cokanasiga, Ford, Heinz, Genge, Cowan-Dickie, Cole, Launchbury, Itoje, Lawes, Ludlam, B. Vunipola.
Replacements: George, Marler, Sinckler, Kruis, Singleton, Youngs, Farrell, Tuilagi.
Kick-off in sunny south Wales is a little over 20 minutes away.
The streets are heaving in Cardiff as usual as fans leave it to the minute to pile into the stadium. Once again, England have had a disruptive preparation, but it didn't affect them too much last weekend.
In Anthony Watson, they have one heck of a replacement for Ruaridh McConnochie, though you have to feel for the wing who misses out on his debut for the second time in two weeks.
This match may just be warm-up match, but it could have big ramifications for the world rankings.
If Wales win today, they will overtake New Zealand as the No 1 side in the world, even though the All Blacks thrashed Australia 36-0 this morning.
But if England manage to win by 16 points or more, then Eddie Jones' side will go to the top of the rankings, and Wales will drop from second to fourth. Had the All Blacks lost earlier today, they could have ended the weekend as low as sixth position.
Now there's disruption for Wales. We're hearing that Liam Williams is OUT of the team today, meaning Leigh Halfpenny will come into the side in the No 15 shirt.
The fire shoots high into the sky from the flamethrowers as the players run out to a huge ovation. The roof is open, but it's still a mighty cauldron in here! Time for the anthems...
Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau is roared out beautifully - that really was something quite special - but the pitch is cleared and it's business time.
Will it be two from two for England, or will Wales gain revenge. Here we go...
KICK OFF: WALES GET THE MATCH UNDERWAY!
2 mins: England get through the kick-off well and clear the lines, and from the resulting lineout, Biggar puts a high one up to test out Daly. He's good to the threat and takes the mark inside the 22, and a minute later he's forced to do the same, but both times Biggar has put a bit too much on it and Wales haven't been able to challenge.
4 mins: Watson bites in to try and press the Welsh attack, but he gets it wrong and Alun Wyn Jones breaks away. Watson gets back to make the tackle, but again Wales spread right wide and Wainwright bumps Joseph off strongly. Biggar launches a long flat pass out wide, but eventually the ball is knocked on and Daly kicks the ball deep. Biggar retreats back and finds touch just short of the halfway line.
6 mins: Wales pick off Cowan-Dickie's first lineout and Biggar again sends it deep for England to play their way out of the 22. They try to go down the blindside, but they do so with a knock-on advantage and we'll come back for the scrum.
8 mins: England get a mighty shove on Wales in the scrum and the loosehead side collapses in, with players piling in on top of each other as England get the penalty. Unsurprisingly it all flares up between the packs for the first time, but there wasn't a lot in that and referee Pascal Gauzere will just have a word with Tomas Francis there, having exchanged a few words with Ellis Genge once again.
10 mins: England try to outsmart the Welsh defence as they rush towards it, only for Ford to chip ahead and Cokanasiga chasing hard. It's a foot race between him and Adams, but while he's able to get the ball first it's only to carry it into touch. Wales cseal the lineout and Parkes nearly breaks through the line to give them breathing space before Gareth Davies kicks clear.
11 mins: Francis gets caught isolated and Wales pile into the ruck, winning the holding-on penalty in the process. Parkes made the hit before James Davies managed to get over the ball and win the penalty.
12 mins: The penalty draws another penalty as Genge deliberately knocks the ball on as he goes to tackle Owens, and Wales turn down the kick at goal to go for the corner.
15 mins: Wales are going through the phases but there's no budging what is a stiff English defence. As we tick into the 14th phase, England manage to turn the ball over and Daly tries to kick clear, only for Alun Wyn Jones to charge it down. The ball falls kindly for Cokanasiga and he runs it up to get England going forwards.
16 mins: Genge and Ludlam combine neatly to move possession up towards halfway before Ford kicks straight to Halfpenny. Wales return the favour, and when Ford puts up yet another high tester, Halfpenny comes up with the error. He drops the ball and Watson is there to snaffle the opportunity, giving England posession on the Welsh 22. But when they attempt to work a crioss-field chance for Daly, the full-back can only watch the ball sail into touch as Ford has overcooked it.
19 mins: After a little pause for numerous players to receive treatment, Davies clears the lineout and North and Watson both go up for it. It spills loose and into touch, and the assistant referee Mathieu Raynal - last week's referee - decides in England's favour to give them the lineout. From there, Francis makes a half-break into the Welsh half, but the ball is knocked on at the next ruck and the chance quickly ends.
