Previous meetings

 

The two sides have plenty of shared history when it comes to Six Nations, and plenty of classic encounters along the way to boot. One of the most memorable tie between the two sides came in the test series of 2010, when the two titans met upon Welsh soil, as they will do on Saturday. Dubbed one of the most dramatic ends of a rugby union game ever, the final eight minutes saw a resurgent Wales side pull back a 14-24 deficit to bring the score level, before miraculously finding a game winning try in the dying moments.
