he chaos and unrest in Welsh rugby outside the field has translated to their performance in the Six Nations, as Warren Gatland’s team suffered defeats in their first two matches.
On the other hand, England claimed their initial victory under Steve Borthwick’s leadership against Italy in their most recent match.
After their captain Ken Owens labelled them a “laughing stock” amidst the turmoil within the Welsh Rugby Union, Wales will aim to redirect their attention to the rugby when they host their neighboring team, England, at the Principality Stadium.
Former England boss Woodward has identified the three areas he thinks will decide the game.

FARRELL vs WILLIAMS
Woodward wrote: “The battle of the No10s at Principality Stadium will be a complete contrast in styles. I’m glad Farrell now seems to be settled as England’s fly-half. I’m sure he won’t have enjoyed the debate over whether he should be in the team or not.
“He will want to prove a point in a massive game. Williams is 30 but is inexperienced at Test level. It’s his first international start at No10.”
RUCK verdict: Biggar had to go. Williams has a fantastic opportunity to become a hero instantly. Farrell needs a big performance with Marcus Smith breathing down his neck.
