Rugby World Cup: England and Wales gear up for big clash

NULL

The biggest game of the 2015 Rugby World Cup so far takes place at Twickenham tonight, as England and Wales go head to head (23:00 UAE time). It could prove to be a make-or-break game for both side’s hopes of making the knockout stages, with Australia also in Pool A. Welsh winger, Hallam Amos, starts ahead of British and Irish Lion Alex Cuthbert, but insists he won’t let the occasion affect him, and is expecting to be targeted by England. Meanwhile, Wales themselves could focus on one opposition player in particular, as Sam Burgess makes his first start in a Rugby Union World Cup game, less than a year after switching codes from Rugby League. Elsewhere today, South Africa will be hoping for a positive reaction to their surprising loss to Japan when they take on Samoa in Pool B (19:45), whilst in Pool D, Italy face Canada (17:30).
