Rugby World Cup 2015: England vs Wales live streaming info and preview

Two of the world’s top 10 rugby union team will slug it out on Sept. 26 in the 2015 Rugby World Championship. World No. 3 England will take on world No. 4 Wales at Twickenham Stadium, with both heavyweight teams coming off huge performances in Pool A of the tournament’s group stage.

England is hoping to strengthen its bid to escape the “Pool of Death” in this year’s RWC. The host team dominated in its tournament opener against Fiji with a 35-11 win, led by fullback Mike Brown and forward Billy Vunipola. Brown scored two impressive tries, while Vunipola contributed with a crucial injury-time score to overcome Fiji, who recently suffered defeat against Australia.

Vunipola’s effort in extra time gave England a bonus point for four tries, which could come in handy in the toughest pool in the quadrennial rugby tournament. England coach Stuart Lancaster said that the bonus points they earned in their first game is “invaluable” for a team who faces tough challenges ahead, with Australia still to come in their fixture.

"That is a big try in the context of this pool," Lancaster told the Rugby World’s official website. "Bonus points are absolutely invaluable.”

Meanwhile, Wales is expected to give England a close battle despite lacking composure in the early moments of their tournament opener against Uruguay. Wales overwhelmed Uruguay to the tune of a 54-9 win that also saw them claim a bonus point, thanks to a stuttering eight tries highlighted by Cory Allen’s hat-trick.

Coach Warren Gatland was happy with his side’s first win, but admitted he is worried about the recovery of his injured players. "Hopefully some of those players will recover over the next couple of days,” Gatland told BBC. We stuck to the task and I was pretty happy with some of the performances.”

Wales is dealing with injured props Samson Lee and Paul James ahead of the big clash against England. Both men suffered calf strains against Uruguay, and are being assessed hour by hour, according to attack coach Rob Howley.
