Both teams triumphed emphatically in their opening games of the tournament, but having won last year’s competition and five of the last six matches between these two sporting behemoths, hosts England go into the clash as favourites.
Add in the fierce rugby rivalry between this pair of proud nations, the number of British Lions on the pitch, and the fact that four of the last five matches between these teams have been won by five points or less, and you have all the ingredients necessary for a monumental encounter for the ages.
