Wales’ players know there is plenty at stake as they prepare to take on England at Twickenham in a Rugby World Cup warm-up fixture on Saturday, as coach Warren Gatland admits to uncertainly around his midfield and back three.

"I've been impressed with him for a while with his footwork and carrying," the coach said."He’s left-footed which is a point of difference in terms of exit strategy and how you want to manipulate teams.
Gatland believes England will switch strategy at Twickenham to more of a kicking game having been unable to break through the Wales defence last weekend with ball in hand.
