Wales v England - World Cup Warm-up
When: Saturday 13th August 2011
Where: Millennium Stadium, Cardiff City Centre
As part of Wales' preparations for the 2011 World Cup, the WRU have arranged a double-header of matches against the auld enemy, England, to be played in the Summer. The first match will be played at Twickenham on Saturday 6th August, and will be followed by the return match at the Millennium Stadium a week later on Saturday 13th August.
Round 1: England emerged triumphant from the first match at Twickenham, beating Wales 23-19 in an absorbing contest. However, Wales out-scored their hosts three tries to two, so will be full of confidence when they meet again at the Millennium Stadium this coming weekend.
Round 2: Wales hit back in the second of their two test matches against England, beating their visitors 19-9 in a spirited display at the Millennium Stadium. A selection of match reports is listed below:
