What channel is Wales v England Rugby World Cup warm-up match on? Kick-off time, TV details and live stream
Check out how to watch Wales v England in a Rugby World Cup warm-up match, including TV details and more.
Wales and England get their World Cup warm-ups under way on Saturday when they face one another at the Principality Stadium.
It is the same setting as when Steve Borthwick's men beat Wales in the Six Nations in February, but the teams look a lot different.
Wales coach Warren Gatland has opted for an inexperienced side against England, with Jac Morgan captaining the side for the first time.
Henry Thomas is also included and is among five players who could win their first cap. Thomas starts on the bench but is not unfamiliar with international rugby after previous winning seven caps for rivals England. His last came in 2014, and because of World Rugby's new eligibility rules he was able to switch to Wales - which he qualifies for through his father.
Alun Wyn Jones, Rhys Webb and Justin Tipuric were all in the Six Nations squad but have since retired from the international game, despite being included in the World Cup training squad.
