England vs Wales: Six Key Players To WatchAs the second weekend off the 2015 Rugby World Cup falls upon us, there is no question as to which fixture will attract most attention.In the 28 years of the tournament’s history, it’s hard to envisage any clash that has been so pivotal, at such an early stage.
Both teams won with bonus points first time out but a defeat here could wreak havoc on either sides ultimate title aspirations. Usually when two Tier One nations meet at the pool stage of a World Cup it is to decide who progresses as pool winners or runners up.
Yet given the shark infested nature of Pool A, such luxuries have been long removed. A defeat here may not necessarily pull the World Cup curtain down for either team, but a win would certainly leave the victor with a little bit of breathing space.

7- Sam Warburton (Wales): When the two captains meet for the coin toss , the Cardiff man will glance across at his opposite number and see an opponent he can relate to. Both captains will wear the openside jersey, and will carry the hopes of their nations, despite having their positions in their respective teams regularly questioned.

However having been jettisoned from the squad entirely for the 6 Nations this year, Jones announced his international retirement and the Welsh have been fretting since.
