Kick off is now just moments away at the empty Principality Stadium in Cardiff. Usually, the tension can be cut with a knife right now with 80,000 nervous fans but instead they watch on from their living rooms.
But it’s Wales against England, and that’s enough to always get the players riled up and ready to fight.
Stay tuned for all the action.
Wales find themselves 80 minutes away from a triple crown after winning their first two matches against Ireland and Scotland.
Despite having two wins from two matches, there are still some questions about Wayne Pivac’s side – given that both the Scots and Irish had red cards in their victories.
England bounced back from a crushing Calcutta Cup defeat to Scotland with a resounding win over Italy last game week.
However, Eddie Jones’ side still find themselves under criticism and have a point to prove to get themselves back in the picture for the trophy.
Wales wing Louis Rees-Zammit and England’s Jonny May’s battle on the wing will be one of the key components of this afternoon’s match.
Rees-Zammit was the star against the Scots, with two well-taken tries and May also stole headlines for an incredible finish against Italy.
Watch this space. Blink and you’ll miss them.
Wales’ George North will earn his 100th international cap this afternoon as he takes the field at the Principality Stadium.
On November 11 2010, North, aged 18 years, 214 days, became the youngest player ever to score a try in his debut for Wales.
He now becomes the youngest player to reach the 100-cap milestone for his country.
