England is going to take on Wales in the second round of the Rugby Six Nations championship game on Sat 10, Feb 2024. One of the defining features of this rivalry is the contrast in playing styles. England, with its long-standing Rugby heritage, embodies a more structured and forward-dominated approach. Their powerful scrummaging, precise set pieces, and relentless defense have long been trademarks of English rugby. This methodical approach is complemented by the English backs’ ability to capitalize on opportunities.

In contrast, Wales is known for its dynamic and open-field play. Their attacking style often features quick ball movement, skillful handling, and a willingness to take risks. The Welsh team’s passionate rendition of “Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau” (Land of My Fathers) before matches is a testament to their emotional and expressive approach to the game.

In this guide I am going to take some overview on England vs Wales Six Nations Rigby h2h record, Predictions, TV Channels, Live Streaming and Complete Lineups.

England vs Wales H2H in Rugby

Since 1881, England and Wales have played each other in rugby union. There have been 141 matches played, with England winning 68, Wales winning 61, and 12 matches being drawn. Due to the proximity of the two nations and their shared history, there is great rivalry between the two sides.

Aside from their annual match, which is now part of the Six Nations Championship, the teams have met in eight warm-up matches prior to the 2003, 2007, 2011, 2019, and 2023 World Cups, with England winning five times and Wales winning three, and a one-off match in May 2016 as a warm-up match prior to each country’s summer tour to the Southern Hemisphere.

Overall, since ages, England and Scotland rivalry is almost equal and both of these teams play the best in their home conditions. England is some games better of over Wales but in this Six Nations Championship the odds are just equal. So my take for the winning side is just equal 50-50.
