I think Wales will be really pleased with that opening defensive set. England haven't got any territory off that opening kick from Lleucu George.

Here come the Red Roses! The forwards dominate and break the line. Sadia Kabeya is within few metres but Wales double up on her and force her to spill possession.

Ellie Kildunne's back in the 15 shirt today and is immediately showing her quality, balancing on her tippy toes on the sideline to keep a Welsh clearing kick in play.

The move gets a loud cheer. England then win a scrum.

The waiting is over. We're off!

If Wales can focus on their own game and not let England get in their heads then that is their best shot in today's game.

If your thinking about stopping the Red Roses from scoring, you're probably not going to do that. I don't think that's a challenge that Wales should be setting themselves.

Anthems time at Ashton Gate. 10/10 all round.

Listen I think for Wales they have nothing to lose, they're at Aston Gate in front of a sold-out crowd. They also know most of the England players, playing with them in the PWR. They've just got to go out there and believe in themselves.

The teams come out to a cauldron of noise. Ashton Gate is sold out.

We're all set for the Meg Jones-derby.

There are a lot of second rows out for England so there is a bit of rotation there today.

So Wales could look to put pressure on the lineout, but England are a very well drilled side.

England's head coach John Mitchell speaking to BBC One: "Somebody is going to come and get us and when they do it's going to be a great experience for us. Someone will rise."

On the win over Scotland: "It was really nice to see last week, the new identity running out of the team. Our skillsets are improving. If you want to be a Red Rose forward next year you've got to have that ability to attack the line."

On motivating the players: "Co-creation, identifying the right challenge and identifying where they can continue to go, they are still un-finished athletes. Nothing is ever impossible if you trust your mind."

On Hannah Botterman joining the England coaching staff this week: "Our scrum coach is away this week, so I like to use experienced players who have the same motivation."

Seven changes - why not more?: "I'm looking for competition, I want to continue competition, we've got another match next week where there will be more changes. Ultimately it's cool to give individual milestones it gives a good energy."

I'd like to see the same performance in the set piece as last week, such as the driving maul. There were some real positive signs in that last week.

We are not going to get many visits to England's 22, so when we get there we have to convert those opportunities.

Wales flanker Bethan Lewis speaking to BBC Sport: "To put on the Welsh jersey and lead the girls out against England is a massive honour. It is a sold out Ashton Gate, we are against the world champions and we have nothing to lose.

"I think we've shown a lot of progress in terms of performance, but it is obviously not the complete performance that we are working towards, but what better team than England to go out and show what we can do."

Less than 10 minutes till kick-off. How you feeling?

We have to praise Wales for the first half of the game against France last weekend.

That is what we are hoping for today, I think we'd all just like to see a competitive mindset from Wales today.

I would be challenging Wales to continue to fight. Then you can measure yourself against your fight. There's no point Wales measuring themselves against England standards because they're not there. I'll be really fascinated to know what their internal challenges are and how they then assess themselves against what they set as targets in the week.

You can catch live coverage from Ashton Gate on BBC Two, or on BBC One Wales.

Ruby Tui, Maggie Alphonsi, Katy Daley-McLean and Siwan Lillicrap join Sonja McLaughlan.

Wales head coach Sean Lynn spoke to BBC Sport before the match against England: "The big focus is going to be on us, everything we've been doing and sticking to our processes and learning from the game against France last week."

On things to work on from the France game: "There's a lot of work-ons out there. We had a good 45-50 minutes but it's making sure we can go the full 80. That's what we're hoping for today. England have gone away to Scotland and had a really comfortable win. But today is all about us and and making sure we can play the full 80 minutes."

On what success would look like for Wales today: "Going after the win and making sure we are learning what we've taken from the last two fixtures."
