England will be determined to position themselves well in the Six Nations 2022 as they gear up to face Wales at Twickenham.

Eddie Jones' men remain a somewhat unknown quantity going into the third round of matches. They were narrowly defeated by Scotland in Edinburgh and demolished Italy without conceding a point.

Victory for England here would maintain their place in second, at least, and would ramp up the tension on their final two matches, including a trip to Paris in the last round.

Reigning champions Wales came into the tournament with faint hopes of retaining their crown due to a string of injury issues, none bigger than the absence of hulking figure Alun Wyn Jones.

They were swiftly dispatched by Ireland on the opening weekend but dug deep in Cardiff to topple Scotland against the odds.

England v Wales prediction

This feels like a make-or-break moment for Jones on home soil in front of a crowd baying for an impressive performance at Twickenham.

Wales defeated Scotland but they remain understaffed and a shadow of what they could be. England need a big display here, they need points on the board and they simply need a victory. Well, Jones does.

England v Wales prediction: England win
